    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

New show in Denver?

Northwest Reptile Expos is looking into expanding our one day shows to the Denver metro area and would like to get some feedback from Colorado breeders. We produce solid one day shows that are perfect for all levels of hobbyists and breeders. Our vendors are treated extremely well, considering without them, there would be no shows! We keep our table prices low ($75 for first, $25 for all additionals), electricity is always free, complimentary lunches given to all vendors, and free use of a microphone at shows to announce your deals. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joel Ebarb

How would this work since there is already a quarterly show?

I think you should bring it to the Springs since I'm tired of driving up to Denver :p
 
SpitZu,
We are looking at just one yearly show in the Denver area, although have actually considered Colorado Springs because of it's 415,000 population and proximity to Denver.
 
Your shows rock in the NW! I have been vending at your shows for years. If you do decide to choose on Denver, I'm sure it will be just as good as the ones up here. Count me in!!!
 
You come to the Springs or Denver I'll get a table whether I need it or not. Our reptile community here could really use the boost. Jeff Frey wanted to get like 15 tables at our expo and was turned down. Thats kinda a kick in the head to us. Not letting in vendors that can compete with the organizers.
 
Rick Baker,
Thanks for the info. I am a avid herpetoculturist, although you will NOT see me selling any animals at our shows because that is considered competition for the vendors. That would be unethical of me. Vendors already have enough competition, the last thing they need is to compete with the show promoter. Not to mention, we are too busy running around making sure all the vendors are comfortable and the crowd is having a good time. Reptile shows are a true passion for me, I have been going to them since 1993. I can't get enough of them. Last year, I was given the great privilege to co-author the industry's only set of reptile show guidelines called the Reptile Show Best Management Practice (BMP). The other co-authors were Zoo Med Laboratories and Andrew Wyatt of USARK. I will be posting these industry guidelines soon for the public to view and critique.
 
you guys should do more than 1 show a year here. I would suggest 2 a year in colorado springs. You could draw crowds from Denver as well as the southern region of the state. Also 2 a year in fort collins would be good, you'd still get the Denver crowd as well as fort collins and Wyoming.
 
They would make a killing is Co. Springs IMO. Not taking anything from doing it from Denver btw, just saying large college and military community here (not to mention the herpers) that would love to pay and see some exotic reptiles! Heck i'd pitch in to help a table even though I dont have anything to sell atm I'd just help the community!

I agree w/ Brian, Co Springs is more centrally located in the state and would possibly draw more crowds from all corners of the state since its more accessable.
 
We need to do a show in Denver! The one we have is horrible. There is a no competition thing with the current promoter.
I have been playing with the idea of having one for the last couple of years. I would love to help with a show in Denver. There are over 4 million people within an hour of down town.
 
I do the current show now, have for almost a year, I would def do a springs show to if available and would def be all over a Ft. Collins or Greeley or something like that show.

Is there anyway to stay in the loop besides here? I very rarely troll through the stuff on forums.
