Never been to a Repticon show before and am planning to visit the one coming here to Sarasota later this month. May not be ready to acquire my new friend yet, but will do a lot of looking and learning.
At these shows, are there primarily vendors / suppliers, or are there breeders present as well? Not to appear snarky, but do the vendors bring animals that they are looking to get rid of? Do they have their 'cream of the crop'? All of the above?
Reason I ask is that in my bird breeding younger years, I bought a rare color form Lovebird from a relatively reputable supplier and it turned out to be terribly ill. Took weeks of care and meds to bring her back to good health. She was a doll – very good breeder and friendly, too. Unfortunately, I relocated and the birds couldn’t go with me into a condo. The wifey doesn’t want birds, so I’m gonna get a tortoise! Boy, will she be thrilled!
