 Can you bring your own Ball to a Reptile Expo?

Theres a Reptile Breeders Expo here in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada On Sunday, My First Expo, TOO EXCITED!
And i was wondering if its normal for people to bring their own pets?
I have a Ball Python and i know there will be more at the expo as well,
just wondering of anyone else has ever done it.

No, it is not allowed. Plus, it would be WAY too stressful for the snake anyhow, and with so many animals in one area he could poissily end up getting sick.

Nope, a well run expo will NOT allow any animals into the show other than those brought in by paid vendors.

It would not be safe for the vendors to have outside animals brought in, and it could be very dangerous for your animal to be exposed to so many other animals (others who also decide to bring their pet who could have RI’s, or a boa with IBD - which can kill a python in under 30 days) who could be carriers of who knows what. In addition, it would be extremely stressful on your animal.

Leave your friend at home, and just go to the show and enjoy!

Sadly in some shows it is (those are the show I would avoid as a buyer and a seller)!

Anyone taking there animal to shows like those are putting their snake at risks and it is very important to keep your snake away from this kind of shows.

The all Ohio reptile show will let you. I go there all the time. Just gotta buy from the right people.
You could catch somthing from any show. Look at all the reptiles at these bigger shows.
