    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone here coming to the spring show? I have mixed feelings about it! It's kind of close to tax time and maybe it's too early for young reptiles?
I checked, no gun show and supposedly no dog show.
WAHOOO!!!!
We may be able to find places to park!!!!

I plan on going but Im not 100% sure yet lol

I have empty racks but have a ton of females mating so Im not sure if I will be able to go and not buy anything since Ill be out of room by mid summer lol
 
I thought the Spring Raleigh show was in May... No gun show? Heck that's the major reason I liked doing that show! :bawling:
 
Yeah Rich,
You were always at the gun show when I went by your table! :AR15firin
Poor Connie was holding down the fort!
Tony has it scheduled for April 30, May 1. Maybe he's trying to avoid the heat and cramped parking.I was surprised it was so early this year. The fall show last year was a nightmare!
If it just wasn't so close to paying Uncle Sam for my privilege to live in the US!
 
I'm just surprised to hear the date change. The Tampa show has been moved to April 9th and 10th from the previous March date, so I'm just surprised that the Raleigh show was moved close (time wise) to the Tampa show.

I guess not that it makes much difference to me, since I am sold out of just about everything that would likely sell at either show. But heck, in year's prior I used to try to make sure I had enough animals to do the Spring Raleigh show so I could go to that gun show. I guess that's over with now..... :unhappy:
 
I have a feeling that a lot of vendors won't have much ready to sell yet. I still can't make up my mind whether to go or not. It's a long drive for me, get a hotel room, and then to find out there's not much I want. Plus the fact it is so close to the Florida show. Most of the vendors will probably sell their "good" stuff there.
I just may have to pass this one! :crap:

I was thinking there may not be much if what Id want too, Im really only working with leos and veileds now so I doubt many leos are ready for sale now and I haev a couple hundred veiled eggs so no need to buy more of them.

I may just skip it, Ive never been to a reptile show so thats really the only reason I wanted to go.
 
Wendy,
Every show I have been to has had lots of leos and beardies. I am uromastyx hunting and there has been very few at the show. I like to buy the VIP tickets and I can be out of there before the hour we get to go in early is up! Of course, I usually don't have much money to spend. All I bought at the fall show last year was crickets!
 
I may go then, Im only 2 hours away so I can go and come home the same day. I just have so many leos breeding Im not sure if I should buy any more and I know if I go I will lolol
 
I'm actually setting up a table this year. I'll be working for Tony at Tampa, but my little veileds wil be needing homes then( if I have any left by then).

I've only got a few left - 7 or 8 of them, but I'm going to be selling screen cages. So many people buy chameleons and other arboreal animals, but so few people sell
adequate sized cages. After I figured out how to make them, I decided they'd be great to
sell at the shows. I'm pretty sur enobody else there sells large screen cages - twin oaks just
sells smaller ones. I wouldn't want to step on their toes, so I'm just selling big screen
cages.

Only problem is that they take a bit of work to make - I hope I can make enough.
 
Eric,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think there are actually a couple of people who sell screen cages. I cant remember who but I do recall seeing a few different tables that had some.
As for the show, Ill be there early. I like to get the VIP tickets as well. I hate when it gets too crowded. Ill probably just buy some mice and look around but its still fun to go.

See you all there.

What part of NC do you all live in? If you don't mind me askin... I live here too and I thought I was the only big time herp lover out here...lol. I was starting to feel secluded...lol.
 
Another thing... I will be at the show. Eric, what will your table name be? (buisness name or whatever) I will look for you there so maybe you can hook me up...lol.

(My name is Mandy btw)
 
Not sure what it'll look like exactly... Need to go to walmart tomorrow and see what kind of sheets/tablecloths are on sale. I'm going to try to put up a nice sign, with drawings of my veileds..and the "other" CB baby chameleons I'll be selling.

I will also be selling reptile books for the show promoter - to pay for my table.

So, look for the mean looking(I'm not mean, just look it)guy selling screen chameleon cages, books, and CB veileds, maybe some day geckos, and half a dozen other CB chameleons.

I may decide to sell as "9th Planet Reptiles" a name I've toyed around with for a while.
