New snake owner here. I'm looking for a water snake. Nerodia, any variety.
What are the chances of finding a water snake at a reptile convention? Upcoming conventions in Des Moines and Omaha.
Or will I have to order from a website and pay for shipping?

Thanks
 
Many Nerodia offered for sale are WC, which would not be a good choice especially for a first snake. As for expos, the chances of finding the snake you're looking for, healthy and CB, and from a seller that a person might reasonably do business with (vet them first, before the expo!) all add up to very low odds.

There's a recent ad for CB and locale-specific (the latter of which might not matter to you, but hopefully someday it will) Nerodia direct from the guy who bred them (just hit 'search' up above and enter 'Nerodia'). That's a good choice, and paying for shipping is a small price to pay for a healthy animal from someone who knows how to keep them.
