📢 Last call for vendor space 📢

Know we had some waiting on hatches or stock levels after other earlier events.

So had a lot of "will let you know" or " not sure how much space" or "If they're ready"

Have more unknown than spaces remaining so let us know ASAP.

also need to start putting together the vendor list.

new inquiries :
tables are $50 via cashapp or paypal.
message for information or questions.
Include what you intend to sell for best and fastest reply.

IF SPACES REMAIN WILL ALLOW the non animal vendors in, since its an exotic pet expo need to give animal related vendors options first as that's what most people are coming out for.

Lots asking about monkeys . for the June 27 and 28th Paris, TN Expo.
Seems all local vendors we know or know of are sold out for the year (or beyond).

New vendor? Traveling vendor? Here's your chance 👍

📢 Even if you're unsure of the market ..
Free space with people asking...
vs the $100 - $300 table fees at some shows/expos .

In the past a few types of monkeys (and other primates) have been out to the Paris Expo and sold .

At this point - no primate vendor is signed up, so no competition 👍

message if interested.

Few vendor messages about Quaker Parrots - sorry we can NOT allow them, they are prohibited in TN.
Not a rule of ours, state law.
They can be confiscated in Tennessee.

Lots asking about bearded dragons.

We are expecting some.👍

Yes there is a "bearded dragon shortage" in the U.S. this year.

Basically what happened (if you haven't already heard) is the largest commercial bearded dragon producer/wholesaler in North America had an issue..and produced far fewer babies this year.
(hear estimates from 10,000 to 50,000 - no idea what the real number is)

That left many wholesalers , distributors, exporters and some stores with no dragon supplier whether it was direct or even 3rd hand . Those businesses went directly to small breeders offering buyouts at higher prices.
So some breeders/vendors made a choice between traveling to expos or shows or selling off at once at a similar price so many sold out in bulk this year more than in previous years.

we did lose vendors ( sounds like most shows/expos have) due to this situation, which is an example of why we dont post vendor lists in advance.

Lots asking about monkeys and/or other primates .

So far not expecting any this expo.
Still looking. Interested vendor? message us!

Reached out to double check with 4 breeders we know.
1 TN- waiting list of 15+
2 TN - sold out for the year into next year since last summer
3 TN - no new replies
4 MS - sold out until at least 2028

** two lemur vendors we had in the past - have gotten completely out of them.


none (that answered so far) are even adding to waiting lists at this point.

still looking for vendors but not sure we'll find any.

For those looking online BE CAREFUL!
Monkeys are the most often scammed animals we hear about!

keep in mind - the demand monkey vendors see! If you see "sale" or a low price - wonder why there would be a sale on something with such high interest/demand.

We have recommended breeders in the past to interested people - a few of those decided they found them cheaper online . EVERY SINGLE one that got back to us was scammed out of their money.
You may find a monkey online 👍 Not saying all breeders are fake but there is a LARGE number of scams in the monkey market.

Many legit monkey vendors also will not ship as they want to meet buyers and make sure they're knowledgeable in care a what to expect from a monkey.

Seems our regular vendors have cut back or are sold out for the season. Have unusual mammals? Interested in vending? Message for info 👍 Let us know what you have.
Have a lot asking about these types of exotic pets.

For possibly interested vendors ..
A few species of primates have sold in the past at the paris expo.
Have not yet had Binturong's at the expo.

Possible buyers -- we're looking for vendors 👍
If you know of some let them know 👍
If you're interested in these types of animal's research - until you have to much then do it a little more 😉
Many of the best mammal vendors will NOT sell to someone they don't think is educated enough in these types of exotics.
