Biggest complaint I hear customers talking about reptile show is diversity
I ALWAYS hear noting but Ball Pythons and Crested Geckos Well guess what
those 2 items are what driver the market.
Everyone says I want to see Boas, Carpet Pythons ect ect ect well guess what
when those items are there they do not buy them all the want to do is SEE THEM
I am an extremely diverse vendor I have been breeding and selling since the late 70's my inventory changes according to the market demands
This was yesterdays inventory on the 9 tables I vended off of
I had well over 100k in dry goods
Racks Cages Arcadia UV Lighting
Arcadia heat
appx 1000 assorted Hide boxes
Heat tape
Heat panels
about 50 different asst stainless steel products
Cleaning Supplies
ect ect ect
now lets get to the animals lol
I hatched well over 4k babies this year including
Guess WHAT 😉
Crested Geckos
BUT NOT LIMITED lol
I had well over a dozen different species of aquatic turtles
appx 500 assorted colubrid
I had Arachnids
I had 4 different species of Boas
I had House snakes
I had King Snake Milk Snakes Hog Nose Rats corns
I can keep going but I am sure if your IQ is at least an 80 you get the point
My advise is if you want to complain about not seeing what you want to see man up put on your big boy pants and become a vendor and bring your items to the Show

IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A VENDOR CALL ME
I will welcome you and get you on the path to success for any show the company offers
You can even sell them items you continuously beg to see at shows
Create the supply for the demand you believe its needed
Until then complaining and wining without action just makes you look like an entitled child throwing their little temper tantrum
Be an adult stop complaining Join a team and make a difference
