Narbc show

[FRANCOIS]

Hello, has anyone been to the NARBC show recently? Was wondering if they usually have newts and / or salamanders?
Thanks
Francois

The one in Chicago rarely has them. I've only seen two or three species in the last couple of years. I have no idea about the others.

When I went to the one in Chicagoland this year there was one person selling newts and axolotls. The axolotls were insanely high priced, the P.waltl were low quality and the guy has a c.b. I.a.apuanus that was the smallest metamorph I have ever seen. That's a great show to check out if you're into reptiles though. There are a lot of breeders who you can tell are really passionate about what they do. It is possible there are other venders at the one in your area.

I think it was the 2009 show, someone was selling a trio of Triturus marmoratus for $350!! There were also a few mostly-skinny-with-mites fire salamanders.
