Anyone Going to Repticon in May?

So I'm trying to find out if anyone from Va Beach/HR is going to repticon may 4-5th that may be able to do me a favor and bring back a snake or two if needed? If anyone is going please let me know and we maybe can work something out...,

I had no idea that Repticon was gonna be goin on. N still cant find any info on it.
Where is it gonna be held at?

Bristol va lol... Its a hike...

We might be going, wont have a definite for another week or two. It may loose out to iron release date :-p

Sean you still tryin to go since its near your bday?

i went to the 1 earlier this year in bristol and there was 6 vendors... i dont think i would go back

It is near it, but no prob not cause of the det I'm going on, mainly I was looking at possible getting a couple snakes from chuck if someone went out and see if they could bring them back, BUT a couple of things have came up and I don't know if that is even an option currently... But I'm still trying to work that out...

We will be there again. We have a table. And will have varied specimens on display/for sale. TCHS, herp society Chuck created, will also have a second table, for educational display purpose only. More info there.
Come see us!!!

I think that I will ride down just because it is so close to me. It is by far the smallest show that I have ever attended however a show is a show so I can always use a box of crickets:)

+1, crickets are always good! And we are selling also some snakes at this show (the last one in Feb we didn't sell anything, just educational displays.).

how many vendors are supposed to be there... when i went in feb. they had 13 listed, in all actuality there was 6 and only 1 had snakes. and where are you from in the nrv i just recently moved from christiansburg to galax

Oh wow! Someone else in this forum in the NRV:) I am looking to pair up a few odd species but would be surprised if I found them there.

They have confirmed more than twice the amount of vendors from the Feb show....this one is going to be better!!!

And we'll have some snakes for sale too this time, not just educational display. We'll have corns, kings, rats, regius, carpet python, rainbow boa, green mamba, some rattlesnakes for sale as well, bush viper

Show was great for us. We sold almost of the corns we had for sale, some milks, rats, the bush viper, baby gaboon viper and green mamba as well. There was less people than the February show but it was still worth it to my opinion. We were very happy

We had a good time. Tatteredtarheel, I am in Pulaski County.

It takes a while for new shows to take off. I remember the first Hampton show. I went as a spectator and was not impressed. Didn't plan on vending because there wasn't much there. Then they picked up Outback and a few other vendors, which is what it takes to draw the crowds. Now, it is one of the better shows in the area and is worth getting up at 5:30 to make the trip.

I think the organizers of this show are doing the right thing. I've even been contacted about vending this show, but it is an overnight trip for me. So, they are trying. If you went and were disappointed, I'd keep going as it will get better each time. I'm going to keep an eye out and if I can accumulate enough hotel points, I might vend this show in the future.
