I hope i answer your question in time....the answer is NO!
not very good. was very small and very little variation.
I bought 2 Tokay Gecko’s for $8 each. Not too bad but it cost me $8 to get in.
I was looking for a specific breed of snake and they didnt have it. I could get over it if they had atleast an intersting selection that entertained me. No...just red tail boas and burm pythons and retic pythons (at every display)

Well it was not in time but thank fo the try took the family thee this weekend " our first show btw" they had mostly snakes not realy what we went for. the wife was looking for a female for her male crested there were only about 7 cresteds at the show but all were 1-2 inches not very big we did not end up getting one but i kinnd think we should have gotten the white dalmation for 35$ but for an overal first show it was a good time . very true about the limited selection alot of snakes we were hoping to find more geckos.... i did end up geting 2 new male leopards 1 blizzard snake eye 1yr old 72gr and 1 tremper albino giant 6 months old 78 gr and the wife ended up getting a ball py and the bigest tokay mae we have found "to us " so even though they did not have much snakes, bearded dagons mostly for a first show i think it was a good choice but now we cant wait for one of the bigger shows man were gonna have to bring more cash to the next one lol.

Yea, i was looking for an Amazon Tree boa. Those are hard enough to find...let along finding the color you want.
I purchased 2 out of 3 tokay geckos on the table. Of course they might have brought more the next day to sell.

I asked all the breeders if they had any Amazon Tree boas but they all said no.

Also, i was suprised to see a lack of reptile care products. There was no cages..unless all the newbies needed a 10 galon for their new baby RTBs. They had pleanty of 10 gallongs.
But Exo Terra was a sponsor and i didnt see one Exo Terra (on display or for sale)
Sorry for the rant
