Recently moved to Chicagoland (North suburbs) and was wondering what the exotics scene out here is like. I've checked out two shops so far - Curious Creatures and Chicago Reptile House. Both pretty cool shops, but the latter has a bigger, more extensive selection however its a bit of drive for me to make it a regular thing. I was pretty impressed by the quality of both shops. Not used to that in the NY area (there were 2 shops in the NY area that specialized in the nontraditional pets and only one that I would endorse fully). Can't wait for Tinley Park show. Any local groups that meet ? Good source for feeder insects, rodents locally ?
