I used to be a CTTC member. Just so you know, the only thing CTTC allows to be sold is goods and supplies. The turtles and tortoises there are only for display.

Yep that's what I prefer... I don't like the expos - too many animals in horrid condition being sold to homes where they will die horrible deaths. For me, this will be like going to a classic car show, rather than a used car lot...

Just be wary of any advice given. They don't have a good track record.

The show was small but worthwhile. Met some nice people, the best was a 70yo Radiated named Big Daddy and some one year old CDTs being fostered. Cute little boxy and a Russian with the highest dome I’ve ever seen.

Most of the people I talked so at length seemed knowledgeable, but I didn’t talk to everyone.

They did a good job with education materials including a giant bladder stone on display to help educate about hydration. Also there was a vet from Newbury Park, there so I got his card for “just in case”.

Lots of tscchokes for sale, plus a raffle. Also had rabbit rescue.

Overall a worthwhile event, even if really small.
