Hello there people!
I am posting this as I convinced my dad to take me to an insect expo. Here in Greece we have neither a lot of shops nor expos for insect keeping. So he agreed to travel abroad to another nearby country for an expo. I have had trouble finding any expos in the Balkans so I'm asking for help. It should preferably be taking place in 2024 so that we can plan our trip and it should definitely have some invert friends for sale.
Thanks in advance,
Kostas.

Hmm nice! If I want the bigger range of arachnid species to choose from which one would be the better fit for me? Feeders shouldn't be a problem as I will be establishing 2 colonies of roaches (loboptera decipiens and blaptica dubia) and mealworms, so feeders are not going to be a problem.
Anyways, thanks for the help! <3

I'd say probably about the same. There is always a large range of spiders however most of those are the same "common" species, the differences are usually stronger on the smaller, local stands that may have some ENZ others don't have. No real way to predict this.

You can always check sites like terraristic dot com or spidercity dot de, to check if some of them already offer spiders for certain venues.

The expo in Weinstadt Germany is supposedly even better when it comes to spiders but i have never been there.

Sadly i do not know of venues closer to greece, i am sure there are a few smaller ones, or sometimes entomological congresses have a few live animals for sale as well. Mostly focused on insects though.
