How much do you normally spend at a reptile show?This includes admission fees,food,drink,and if you go there that you buy something.

I've only been to one show:Repticon and I think the cost of everything was around 30 to 40 dollars,but that was because I needed to buy the new furnature for Freckles.

At bare minimum we spend $10.00 just to get in (that's two people), $5.00 for green horn worms because my dragon loves them. The most my husband has spent at a show was $450. Of that one tarantula alone was $300.00. Typically my husband was spending from $100-$200 a show which is twice a month, but he has cut back his spending to about $50-$60 a show.

2 Viper Geckos

I've never spent less than 100 dollars at a reptile show.  I am very cheap at all times other than reptile shows, so I save up a bunch and then just buy a ton at all the shows!  I buy books, insects, cages, supplies, animals, and everything else there!  I think the most I spent was around 175 dollars.

I can't believe it, I've never been to a reptile show before. Am I missing out on something that I shouldn't be missing out on?
