Have you been to Hamburg yet?

BTW, the guy who runs White Plains also runs Manchester.

I've read about Hamburg, but its about 3-4 hours of driving, while white plains is 15 minutes. Worth it? I'd be worried about animals in the car for that long.

Three to four hours? Wow, that is too far. It only took us 6.5 hours (each way). There isn't a show near me that is only fifteen minutes away. Manchester is at least 45 minutes away.

Yes, Hamburg is worth it. I saw more frog/amphibian breeders there than I have ever seen at any other show. Rainforest Junky, Josh's Frogs, and Michael Shrom were all there. Plus a few more that I can't remember who they were. Then theres loads of baby turtles for sale. Of course the coolest thing is all those venomous snakes in deli cups. Imagine picking up a deli cup with a mamba or rattlesnake in it.

I went last month and bought two Dendropsophus ebraccatus from Michael Novy/Rainforest Junky and a trio of Paramesotriton chinensis from Michael Shrom.
