I agree with both of you and it's the same at big chain pet stores and even specialty stores. Everybody wants the lizard-y (excuse the terminology) things and a moratorium ought to be declared on ball pythons. The only good thing is people then get interested in more advanced species and start looking for them. Once in a while I get a call from a local reptile store that he has acquired a critter I might like that he took in on trade or bought outright. Beataway, the Tulsa Expo has improved and there was a wide variety last Fall. The problem with the economy every show will be different every year. Three or four vendors pulled out just before the OKC show. Networking is key to finding what I want so I get to know people. Now if I just had the $$$$$$$$$$$$
