http://www.tucsonreptileshow.com/

I have never been to one, but they dont sound bad, plus its close!!

It's a good show, went las year--but there are still MUCH bigger reptile shows--Daytona Expo is probably the biggest one each year. Won't be able to make Tucson this year unfortunately...

[Kentanner11]

oh.... Any comments?

[Kentanner11]

about the show?

[jenn_jeffery]

It's a good show. Parking was horrible--supposed to be better this year. Go early if you want something certain, go late if you want a deal. Venue is CROWDED!! Take a few hours just to look around, be sure and check out the native & exotic snake/lizard display...

I used to be hardcore into reptiles, but now I just have my old man Beardie left. He kinda gets neglected now with all my other pets and tanks. I used to go to all the reptile shows.

[Kentanner11]

nice, yea I am kindof in between, 2 green anoles, and 2 des. torts. 1 FW set up and 1 SW set up. And I have plans to expand the FW, anole and tort set up by next may.
E- Anything specifically or just everything lol!.

I am pretty much just going to check it out, and catch a few deals on some equip. (hopefully)

I used to have king snakes, corn snakes, russian tortoises, Iguanas, and bearded dragons. Beardies are the best reptiles by far.

Cool, yea I would love to go more in to herps and fish but dont have the cash, space or time..
They are very cool. Hey what size habitat do they need , I would guess a flat vs. a tall for ground space.

Beardies? a 55 gal. is ok, 40 Breeder is good, a custom 4' x 2' or larger is best...easy to care for these guys, and they're sweeties. I've got two of my own...

I agree with the size of tanks--my beardie is in a 55 gallon tank

[Kentanner11]

wow you have 3 55g lol!

[EvilE]

I have another one outside, I do not use because it has a tiny crack--perfect for reptiles though!! You need one??

[Kentanner11]

Im good thanks for the offer, though!
55 are very versatile.....

I have been to this show and others here in AZ for quite a few years. Its always fun, and I would love to go but will be all sad that I got rid of my Dart frogs Its a cool experience either way if you go, amazing animals.
