I have never been to U.S.A. and never been too a Reptile Show. I find these tips really interesting and totally understandable. This is very good content to watch. Show the Reptiles some respect... and the humans too. If these points were printed on the ticket or on the back of a map of the show room(s) this would make the show place a lot saver for the reptiles, children, and grownups.
All very good points! Some stuff is common decency but I can understand why there's a need for videos like this, because some people are just so ignorant. You are so nice about it also, I'm glad there's people like you in the industry. Love your videos, looking forward to more 👌🏼
Thank you for making this video. Especially number 1. Also appreciate how well you speak in tour videos. You can tell you're passionate but you don't let your anger/frustration water down your message. Kudos to you
Oh Lord this video is perfect and i deal with ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED at my table in White Plains. Jeremy T shares table with me n he will vouch for it as he deals with the same. Can i please share this to my biz pg. n Congrats on ur recent wedding!
I'm so glad you put this vid out. As someone who is just starting the research process into getting my first snake and looking to go to some expos it's nice to know how to respect venders space. I would've definitely put something on your table lol. Now I know better 😊
@@JasonsExoticReptiles yeah. The only thing I definitely wouldn't have done was ask to hold something I wasn't interested in buying, so I appreciated the video a lot lol
great video. Thanks for supporting the hobby and uploading videos that are very informative as well as educational. Hoping to make a purchase of one of your boas.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles You better. Retile lovers need ppl like you who have experience and can give good advice. You are real, authentic, and uncensored and I have a lot of respect for you and your knowledge about reptiles. SO DON'T DISAPPEAR AGAIN!!! LOL. 😂😂
Great video! I absolutely CRINGE when customers put their new animals on my table. Something I need to be a little more firm about is saying no to people that want to just handle animals. I have shared this to my FB business page and my personal timeline. This needs to become a standard at reptile shows!
Thank you for the advice. I'm going to my first show next weekend in the uk, so this will help me not piss people off. I also appreciate you wearing vests 😍
@@southsideslondon Hi. The IHS have breeders shows 3 or 4 times a year at Doncaster racecourse. The one I went to was over 3 floors and brilliant. I would advise becoming an IHS member because you get in before the general public and entry is cheaper. Its only around £30/year. I'll definitely be going back. There is a Hilton right on the doorstep too.
Thank you for posting Jason. I've worked in retail for a number of years. I absolutely know where you're coming from. I look forward to going to reptile shows in the near future as a buyer and a seller. Thank you so very much for your comments on "Basic Reptile Show Etiquette."
Good to see you back on line :) I’m in the uk so I’d never get the opportunity to visit you at a table. I’m at a show this weekend, I’ll bare everything you’ve said in mind whilst visiting tables. I look forward to your next video 👍
Great video on reptile show etiquette! First one I’ve seen addressing this subject. Many of these points are common sense good manners. Shame people just don’t think. Have missed you on uTube. Glad you’re for a few videos! Have a great day!
Great advice. At the reptile shows I go to I almost run into the opposite though, I can barely walk past a lot of tables without the vendors trying to get me to hold something.
Haha some people take that approach hoping that once you hold it you will buy it. Those are also the people who usually have the sick snakes and the reason I dont want people holding my stuff unless they buy it.
Outstanding advice. Straightforward blunt an to the point, awesome. So you sell online? I want another boa (redtail BBC not bci) looked in my area an no one is breeding. Love you vids so I feel you are reputable.
Great video, I feel your pain I vend at shows and some people think it’s a petting zoo. The worse one was a group who where at the table next to me buying snakes. However they didn’t look at what I had but wanted to use my hand sanitizer to clean their hands after handling the other guys snakes. Yeah that ticked me off but people do some strange things. Keep the videos coming, you really inspire me.
Seems like you had a rough day and most likely thought of this either all night or couldn’t get sleep cause you were pretty aggravated, unfortunately this should mostly be common sense , the one thing I have noticed in the reptile world was most prices are the prices unless your gonna buy multiple items usually with cash , I used to be the person that would try to ask for a better price but now raising many snakes myself it’s pretty hard to ask if someone can do any better ,ecspecially if they are buying rats every week , I mean breeding rats isn’t much cheaper but ya you definitely learn over time , this is great video
I actually had a great day at the show! This is more stuff I've seen over the years and things that I saw happen to the vendors around me. I'm not shy at shows. I'll ask people if they could move over so others can see the animals, tell them let's talk in 10 min so I can help this customer, and tell people that if they are not interested in purchasing I dont want them animals out because it's already stressful enough for them being their. I'll also tell them to stop tapping in my case because the snake is scared and they are not helping Haha.
These are EXCELLENT points. As a vendor, I thank you. Also, thanks to all of the customers out there who go to shows and patronize our businesses or just have a great time looking and learning! We appreciate you so much! There are a couple of other similar points I have thought of mentioning myself, as well: 1. Please don't loudly complain about how expensive an animal is, it's just kind of off-putting and unnecessary especially when you're not even planning to purchase and you're just there to try to hold animals. I get a lot of people asking about why an animal is this price or that price, and it's fine they're curious, but usually they're not considering buying any of the animals and often it's not so much a good-natured question as a statement that an animal is expensive. I have a couple species that generally run for quite a bit, so to alleviate this I am considering making a sign about it due to how often this occurs. 2. Please don't grab animals off the table without asking. (Parents will do this to show it to kids in strollers, etc.) 3. If there is a potential customer holding an animal, please don't rush over and also take the animal assuming it's a free-for-all, especially without taking any hand sanitizer- to connect to your point about holding animals. 4. Please don't take handfuls of business cards, especially if you're not actually planning to buy from me. They cost a lot of money to print, and when you take 5 for all of your kids, that means I have less to hand out to truly interested customers.
Thanks a lot for making this video because I'm planning on going to my first reptile expo sometime soon and now I know what to do to be respectful to others around me and not piss people off lol
Thanks for that info. I think I’ve done one of your pet peeves asking you about the morph of a boa I got from another vendor. By the way the boAs I’ve bought from you are growing, healthy, and looking great. -Ruddy
What's up man! And no you were fine. I actually enjoy that type of stuff. I was having a hard time describing that type of situation because most people ask like you did. And that's perfectly fine. It's more if we were talking about a snake I had for weeks and then you back out and buy he same thing from someone else then come back to me for info. It happens alot. Basically they use me for info. Then go buy from some random person. Then want to use me for info again. Even then it's not always bad but some people do this regularly. Even then I dont mind helping, but I can only tell so much about an animal that I have never seen.
I do hope in the coming year that you will attend a show or shows in the CT area. I so would love to buy a Boa from you. After listening to you you, they seem like wonderful snakes who can be tamed by earning their trust. Do you ever sell older boas?
thank you! To my knowledge, there are no shows in Connecticut but there are some in New York Massachusetts and New Hampshire which I regularly attend. I also travel back and forth between Massachusetts and New York often so if you are looking for a boa shipping is usually about $25 to Connecticut and I do pass through there so we could always drop off in person. I should have all kinds of cool stuff coming up this year. I don't typically sell older snakes since baby cell so quickly for me. The only exception is if I have an older breeder and I'm looking to change directions or if I raised a breeder and they didn't prove out to be what I was trying it to be with possible hets
Not gonna lie ive held snakes i didnt plan on buying but i made that known upfront and only asked if they werent dealing with other people atm but i didnt think about the snake crawling on shirt and stuff good points
I've done literally everything in this video and more so it's nothing to be ashamed of. These are more things to consider when going there. I was at a show a few weeks ago and literally did exactly what I was saying not to do in some cases because there was so much happening and I wasn't thinking.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles yeh everybody fuzzes up especially when we think we know better. I was wondering could you do videos talking about the different common genes kn boas, cause i see stuff like motley, jungle, etc. And i see that they do something but can never really fjnd plain single genes to see what specifically something does.
I have a dental about four feet. Feeding every two weeks. Seems fine doing great. My very first one had about 3 years any advice. Should this be a humid environment. You make me ask slot of questions as to whether my snake is happy.
I've asked if I can hold a snake with the express intent to buy if the animal seemed to be in good health. I've had one person tell me "no" before, not even an explanation just "no." That breeder didn't get my money, which is a shame, because he was the only breeder at the expo selling what I was looking to buy.
Sounds like he probably didn't have the best business skills lol. With that said it's unfortunate that we get so many tire kickers that it can sometimes be hard to decipher. I feel like I can usually get a pretty good read on people after talking to them for a minute or so even just watching how they react around the show. Only the parents with a little kids that want their kids to experience holding snakes that makes it difficult
Some people are just ridiculous especially at these shows kudos to you jason for even doing shows lol. I dont have the patience for it. I'll go to buy or just hang out but to vend um no friggin way. Luckily I dont have to vend at shows to sell my hatchlings not that it matters thos year as I took this ball python season off. But in general I hate most people at these shows lol.
Hey I love your Chanel your info honesty and no B.S style. I was wondering if you sell snakes if so where do I go to look? I’m looking for a Suriname boa or any other big bodies red tail.
That was worded dumb. Sorry. I meant do you sell online. I’m in Indiana but want a good quality healthy snake. And pet stores don’t know which boa is which.
Hi! I do have a website. All the links are in the description but the site is Www.jasonsexoticreptiles.com I need to update today since much of those listed were sold at the show. Hoping to get more animals posted up there soon.
Last expo I went to their was 2 people that we're standing in front of a table to I wanted to see not even looking at what the vendor had, blocking my way. When I ask nicely could you please move so I can see the table, they gave me this look like I was such an asshole and that I shouldn't be there. Meanwhile they're talking about stuff with each other from like 10 tables away. Sellers just looking at me apologizing about them and it's not even his fault. Also I hate it when I'm looking at something and someone get in my way to take pictures when I'm looking to buy something. Also if I want to take a picture I always ask the vendor first if it's okay cuz some people don't like it
You should make a video about the same thing but from the buyers point of view, like as a buyer we don’t like when we see an animal that we want to buy and are trying to inquire about it all while you guys/gals are speaking to your partners or personal friends about things not related to the show because we aren’t there to hear peoples life problems and also its very hard trying to make a purchase as it is with all the commotion but like don’t look at me and think oh he isn’t going to buy because honestly you don’t know... and honestly i’m not speaking directly about you but i have most definitely had problems in the past where a vendor may see a more famous vendor and completely take their attention away from me.. also we do not like when famous vendors walk around during our time pointing animals out saying put that on hold for me later... i get you want to do business and it’s about money but it’s not fair for us... do that before the show starts... cause that makes us pretty sour and at that point all of your animals become irrelevant and then we are forced to purchase elsewhere. - just my opinion
Them kids.. i sell scorpions at expos in Sweden and parents come to me trying to buy a potent scorpion for thier kids. There are some really dumb people in this hobby! Thanks for a good channel and thanks for your Boa advice a while ago /Swede
Is it rude to ask seller if you can doublecheck the snakes sex? Like with small boas its easy, and i'm that kind of person that likes to doublecheck after someone before buying. Is it ok?
Not necessarily, but my thought on that is that if you need to ask the seller to double-check the sex, then they are probably not somebody you want to be buying from. That's something that I do without being asked. That's something that a good breeder would sex properly to begin with so they would be no need. Most of the time when the snakes are not sexed properly it's because the guy is a complete hack or he is just the middleman pumping snakes from one source to the next. You always need to have confidence in who you buy from. If you don't trust them enough to sex the snake properly then what else could go wrong when you take that snake home. Does it actually eat, does it have mites or not, is it even healthy to begin with Etc. So no, it's not rude oh, but it does show it's more of an Impulse Buy as you haven't done the research on the breeder or seller to give you the confidence that they are good people to purchase from.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles You right. But i'm from Poland, and our shows are bit smaller, and often if you want to buy less popular morph you have to buy it from breeder that you don't really know. if you see snake that you've been thinking of on one of the shows. Ofcourse you can lern a lot about the breeder just by talking to him, but still, i'm that type of person, that would want to doublecheck just for the peace of mind in that kind of situation. Problably you could wait, do the research about the breeder and after that ask him to send it tou you, but isn't it better for snake, to buy it on the show and transport it ASAP to good housing conditions (in here postoffice is bit slow some times)? Anyway, thanx for fast and complex answer. I really apriciate your channel and knowledge you give. Big props.
@@EmikaeRdm absolutely understood. There are always exceptions and times when you need to purchase from people you don't fully know specifically if good situations pop up like what you mentioned. Again, I don't necessarily think it's rude. But just because they sex it twice or even ten times doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to be sacked accurately. A lot of times the people at those shows are just the workers and they don't really have some great experience sexing snakes. I'm not sure what the market is like in Poland. And thank you very much for checking out the videos.
Love all your videos and your straight up attitude and honesty....

Thanks man! Nothing to get mad about. Like I said, I've done all of this myself at one point Haha

Wow! Spot on man! As a vender its nice to see someone finially touched on this subject. See you at the shows.

Great video. Some of these topics, are much needed. I learned something too, after years of collecting, but I’ve never vended. Good to know!
Fantastic stuff as always brotha an I luv my 3 new pickups. Also congrats on 9k your growing fast bro
Thank bro!
Watchya pick up
Great advice. At the reptile shows I go to I almost run into the opposite though, I can barely walk past a lot of tables without the vendors trying to get me to hold something.
Haha some people take that approach hoping that once you hold it you will buy it. Those are also the people who usually have the sick snakes and the reason I dont want people holding my stuff unless they buy it.
Great video!! You seem like a down to earth guy!! You could have ripped people for some of those things. Knowledge is the most power!! Take care!!
Thank you. None of this is major stuff. Some people just dont know.
Ik u been busy, but its deff good to see u posting again cant wait for more. Be easy brotha
Thank you. I'm going to make more asap.
So much of that is such common sense but glad you made this video!!
Outstanding advice. Straightforward blunt an to the point, awesome. So you sell online? I want another boa (redtail BBC not bci) looked in my area an no one is breeding. Love you vids so I feel you are reputable.
Thank you. I do, but I'm pretty low on stock at the moment. The new babies will start coming about march this year
Great video, I feel your pain I vend at shows and some people think it’s a petting zoo. The worse one was a group who where at the table next to me buying snakes. However they didn’t look at what I had but wanted to use my hand sanitizer to clean their hands after handling the other guys snakes. Yeah that ticked me off but people do some strange things. Keep the videos coming, you really inspire me.
Glad to see you back man
Great vid keep them coming!
Hey man love the channel I’ve bought I few boas from you and 1 burm I want to know where do you buy the jewelry display boxes for snakes
What's up man. Are you talking about at the shows? Those are just some old school animal plastics displays. I'll be upgrading soon.
Seems like you had a rough day and most likely thought of this either all night or couldn’t get sleep cause you were pretty aggravated, unfortunately this should mostly be common sense , the one thing I have noticed in the reptile world was most prices are the prices unless your gonna buy multiple items usually with cash , I used to be the person that would try to ask for a better price but now raising many snakes myself it’s pretty hard to ask if someone can do any better ,ecspecially if they are buying rats every week , I mean breeding rats isn’t much cheaper but ya you definitely learn over time , this is great video

How can I view your animals for sale? I’m in MO so don’t attend shows in New England. Found your Facebook page but do you have a website for sales?
Hi! I do have a website. All the links are in the description but the site is Www.jasonsexoticreptiles.com
I need to update today since much of those listed were sold at the show. Hoping to get more animals posted up there soon.
Duh. I guess I should’ve looked at the description first, lol. I will check out the website - thanks! Love your videos too.
All really great points! Pretty annoying to tolerate during a show 😬
People actually tap on the glass and try and barter with you? That’s super disrespectful.
Good commence info ✌🏼

Most of this just common courtesy and sense. Parents with kids are the worse it's a reptile show not a petting zoo.
You would think!

Thank you!
You should make a video about the same thing but from the buyers point of view, like as a buyer we don’t like when we see an animal that we want to buy and are trying to inquire about it all while you guys/gals are speaking to your partners or personal friends about things not related to the show because we aren’t there to hear peoples life problems and also its very hard trying to make a purchase as it is with all the commotion but like don’t look at me and think oh he isn’t going to buy because honestly you don’t know... and honestly i’m not speaking directly about you but i have most definitely had problems in the past where a vendor may see a more famous vendor and completely take their attention away from me.. also we do not like when famous vendors walk around during our time pointing animals out saying put that on hold for me later... i get you want to do business and it’s about money but it’s not fair for us... do that before the show starts... cause that makes us pretty sour and at that point all of your animals become irrelevant and then we are forced to purchase elsewhere. - just my opinion
Them kids.. i sell scorpions at expos in Sweden and parents come to me trying to buy a potent scorpion for thier kids. There are some really dumb people in this hobby!
Thanks for a good channel and thanks for your Boa advice a while ago /Swede
Post more videos !
Is it rude to ask seller if you can doublecheck the snakes sex? Like with small boas its easy, and i'm that kind of person that likes to doublecheck after someone before buying. Is it ok?
Not necessarily, but my thought on that is that if you need to ask the seller to double-check the sex, then they are probably not somebody you want to be buying from. That's something that I do without being asked. That's something that a good breeder would sex properly to begin with so they would be no need. Most of the time when the snakes are not sexed properly it's because the guy is a complete hack or he is just the middleman pumping snakes from one source to the next. You always need to have confidence in who you buy from. If you don't trust them enough to sex the snake properly then what else could go wrong when you take that snake home. Does it actually eat, does it have mites or not, is it even healthy to begin with Etc.
So no, it's not rude oh, but it does show it's more of an Impulse Buy as you haven't done the research on the breeder or seller to give you the confidence that they are good people to purchase from.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles You right. But i'm from Poland, and our shows are bit smaller, and often if you want to buy less popular morph you have to buy it from breeder that you don't really know. if you see snake that you've been thinking of on one of the shows. Ofcourse you can lern a lot about the breeder just by talking to him, but still, i'm that type of person, that would want to doublecheck just for the peace of mind in that kind of situation. Problably you could wait, do the research about the breeder and after that ask him to send it tou you, but isn't it better for snake, to buy it on the show and transport it ASAP to good housing conditions (in here postoffice is bit slow some times)? Anyway, thanx for fast and complex answer. I really apriciate your channel and knowledge you give. Big props.
@@EmikaeRdm absolutely understood. There are always exceptions and times when you need to purchase from people you don't fully know specifically if good situations pop up like what you mentioned. Again, I don't necessarily think it's rude. But just because they sex it twice or even ten times doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to be sacked accurately. A lot of times the people at those shows are just the workers and they don't really have some great experience sexing snakes. I'm not sure what the market is like in Poland. And thank you very much for checking out the videos.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Again thank you very much. I'm waiting for next videos!
