| The only places I know of that have much for reptiles etc... are:
Twin Cities Reptile
Leaping Lizards
Exotics and Acquatics
Does anyone else know of any good stores to visit in the twin cities area? I just like to visit and see what each individual place has. | |

| Those are the only ones I know of that specialize in reptiles. Exotics and Aquatics isn't the greatest place to go | |

| He honestly shut the lights off on me in the store once, 30 mins before posted closing time!! And I agree about the shady person thing, he showed me some beardies once and said he had a lot more in the back but would he show me? Of course not.
I wish there were more good reptile stores around... or even more small pet stores that had a decent and healthy collection. | |

| Pet Expo (Not a chain store) here in Mankato has a decent collection. They seem to take care of them well and have a vet connected to the store. Kind of out of the way for many, but worth checking out if you ever get down this way.
This is all the more reason why we should have an annual reptile/amphibian MN show so reputable breeders who actually care about there animals can show off what they have and mingle with other breeders. | |

| Im with ya on the show. I think most breeders in MN probably do so out of their homes but it would be nice to get them all together in one place. | |

| I know a few of the bigger breeders here in MN that try to make it to most of the NARBC shows. They would probably love a local show | |
