[QUOTE="Introvertebrate, post: 347980, member: 6009"] After a decade of lurking on various invert forums, I finally pulled the trigger and bought some. Yesterday I went to the All Ohio Reptile Show, and picked up a relatively mature female [I]Acanthoscurria geniculata[/I] tarantula. She came with a freebie sling, so I chose a little [I]Stromatopelma calceatum[/I]. I also got some starter colonies of [I]Shelfordella lateralis[/I] and [I]Blaptica dubia[/I] roaches. There were way more invertebrate vendors at the show than I anticipated. The fellow I bought from had primarily tarantulas and a handful of roach species. He lives right here in Columbus. There was a fellow from the New York area who had tarantulas, scorpions, harvestmen, etc. I saw some ghost mantises at is table, but there may have been other mantis species as well. Several vendors sold exclusively isopods and/or springtails. I saw more enclosure related items than you can imagine. Nice, custom-made terrariums, light fixtures, heating, decor, etc. Trade shows might be the best place to get those kinds of things, because they're big, and you don't have to pay an inordinate shipping charge. It does cost $5 to get into the show however. And, of course, they had the usual variety of reptiles and amphibians that you might expect at a Reptile Show. Almost too much to take in really. :) [/QUOTE]
