Is there still the annual one in San Jose? I'm so late here and also in the Silicon Valley and they haven't updated their website yet :/

I'm pretty sure they did one this year. I've been to the one at sf cow palace, Lodi, and Sacramento.

Nothing like driving 2/3's the length of the Western coast for a 1-2 day con. Not including the crappy traffic.

There is something about SF that has made it very anti-exotic animals. There's tons in the SoCal area, granted more people, but there's a large critical mass in SF to support exotics yet there's nothing. Clearly no redeeming qualities in that area.

I LOOOOOVE that you live here now!! Haha that's what you get!

San Francisco here.

There's SCABIES but it's a SoCal based group; it's also not particularly active except the FB group. I know there are tons of people out here though.

I find it great Mrs Haas that you have reached out in positive way to call out or meet with other tarantula enthusiast in your area. I am in the Southern CA area, but have many friends in Northern CA that I continue to deal with in regards to tarantulas. If you ever make the trip down or I up we will have to get in touch. Until then I take great pleasure in seeing your love for tarantulas and the hobby. Continue to seek out positive people with a passion for the hobby ......I will see if my friends would like to take the lollipop game up north again (they had a great time with it ) as I don't make the trip to North CA shows, but I will see them at the Pamona show in 2 weeks and ask

So CA shows for all to research now, but I post them a few weeks prior to almost every show in arachnofuncion:

Reptile Super Show @ San Diego, Reptile Super Show @ Pamona. Repticon @ Costa Mesa, Repticon @ Americas Family Pet expo Costa Mesa. Cal Poly Bug Fair @ CA Poly. La Bug Fair @ LA Natural History Museum. Anual Riverside Bug Fair @ Riverside. narbc @ anaheim.

I meant in California in general, because you included that in the OP. I'm in SoCal.

As I continue to mention there is nothing redeeming when it comes to NorCal and exotic pet shows..NOTHING!

I don't seem recall you leaving the Sacramento show empty handed

 

[viper69]

1 show, that's it 1 show per year! PFFFFT. Pomona rocks, Anaheim NARBC, Costa Mesa, and the Bug show..like I said, nothing redeeming! That's 4 in a year at least. ALSO, when you have Aug or Sept show, bam, Pomona happens shortly after Jan 1, you can't beat that in the state of CA.
