I think this is to have some of the more reputable people and it is easier for people to navigate instead of going through ten tarantula stalls, five gecko stalls, ten python stalls blah blah blah, just to find the one animal you're looking for. Do they have a list of the exhibitors so far? I'd be interested in seeing

Did the trip as well and what a complete waste of time got to the door turned around and left .will never be going there again

Think people misunderstand the concept of 2 exhibitors per animal. A stall only selling tarantulas there may only be 2 of, but if a certain exhibitor specializes in multiple animals then there can be 10 of these. like tarantulas.co.za and rozzers tarantulas will be there as the tarantula only stalls i think. but then petbugs will also be there more focussing on feeder roaches, but also have tarantulas. the expo's at walter sisulu are usually very well organized with good variety. the 2 tarantula stalls i mentioned, especially tarantulas.co.za usually has the biggest variety of tarantulas out there. will definitely go to the september expo!!

Thank you for explaining, that does sound more interesting. I've bought T's from Tim at Petbugs and that should be a quality exhibitor. That does sound like the kind of expo I could make the effort to go and see again.
