Just wanted to share an after action report to this weekend's Dixie Reptile Show in Alabama.
A report on the show as a whole, kinda disappointing. Was kinda cool to meet new vendors and all but there were a few that were kind of... We'll just say less than informed... And 1 blatant liar... But I digress.
On to the good,
I am happy to say I did find one vendor dedicated to tarantulas, while very knowledgeable, there were some disappointing display decisions made and inconsistencies with sizes and information given over the net. Because of this I will refrain from naming this vendor because I can say while sort of disappointed in the above mentioned issues, you can tell they are the new kids on the block and with any budding business, mistakes and inconsistencies are expected.
This said, I do however plan on possibly doing future business with the vendor if certain aspects change for the better.
Now let's get to the meat of this post. A friend sent me this vendors show availability and I was quite impressed with cost to size ratio so I had an idea going into it what I would see and was excited.
Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was that, what I was looking at was half the size as claimed, but because I an such a sucker for pokies I still bought with out hesitation. Needless to say despite the cons I'm still very happy with my purchases.
The great pokie yield list;
P. formosa
P. miranda
P. smithi
P. tigrinawesseli
P. Vittata
If you went to this show. What'd you think? Please share!
