Well, we just got back home from Daytona Beach after walking through Expo all weekend. The show seemed smaller and less crowded than last year with WIDE aisles that you could drive a semi through.
It was a great place to be if you are into ball pythons. Matter of fact, my impression was that there were more ball pythons at that show than are likely still remaining in the wild on the entire continent of Africa. If you were NOT into ball pythons, well you would get through the show pretty quickly by skipping around those tables.
Some vendors seemed to do well there, while others didn't seem to do well at all. But it seems I have heard that lament every year the show has been in existence.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun talking to a lot of people we don't see but once a year. And it is DEFINITELY nice being on the "walking and looking" side of the vendor tables. I know what these people go through to be there, and I don't envy them even one little bit.
