They compare the two expos—crowds, vendor vibes, standout animals, and how each venue shapes the experience—while giving listeners a feel for what it’s like on the ground at these busy Southeastern reptile hubs. Then the conversation turns to the weather as spring finally starts nudging temperatures up across the Southeast.
