She's not going to find any iguanas at the show: they have a policy of
captive-bred only, and that can't be guarranteed with iguanas, so they
don't allow any of the vendors to sell iguanas at the show.
Also, no crocodilians or venomous reptiles. Other than that, nearly
everyting. A lot of the vendors at the show do designer herps.
Beautiful to look at, but typically expensive. I will say, that's where
I got Pooh her bearded dragon, so not all the animals there are pricey.
I would also say none is really overpriced.
Tons of supply vendors, books, videos, you name it.
OTOH, the MARS Rescue organization (basically, this is one of the people
who is in the MARS preservation organization) currently has seven
iguanas up for adoption, if she's looking for company, she can go that
direction. I can tell you right now, Holli has her hands full with
rescue animals, and can't take anymore. She keeps getting caimans in for
some reason...
