Hey everyone! I just found out about the Hamburg reptile show, Its tomorrow and I'm thinking about going. Has anyone been there? I'm looking for a specific species and wasn't sure if their were usually taranchula vendors there. I tried to check out the vendor list but I didn't see any specifically for Ts. Thanks for any help!

I've been twice. Admission is $10. Net-bug (Anastasia Haroldsen) is there, and a couple of other T vendors that don't have an online prescence. She usually has the best selection, and they are labelled with scientific names. If possible, get there by 8:00. The line to get into the building is insane after that. The doors open at 9:00.

Awesome! I'll look out for her. Thank you for the help. I'm specifically looking for a Grammostola Pulchra I know they're kinda hard to find. Hopefully I can find some there.

I love the Hamburg show and most of my collection came from there.
There are 3 stands who specialize in bugs: NetBug, Arachnoiden, and Joe's Tarantulas.
NetBug - Has a large general selection of tarantulas. Also has a website so you can see what she has before going. If you email her with something you want, she will make sure she brings it to the show and will hold it for you.
Arachnoiden- I think they specialize more in Old World species and have a good selection. Also has a website.
Joe's Tarantulas- Tends to have mostly US native bugs along with a few random non-native tarantulas
There's also a few reptile dealers with a decent selection, specifically the guy against the back wall on the left at the show.
What species are you looking for?
Edit: Net-Bug will probably be your best bet for a pulchra but I think she tends to only have juveniles of that species, so expect to pay a good amount for one.

As nicodimus said, get there early if you can. The line can get a couple blocks long by the time they open and it gets really crowded inside.

I couldn't remember the other vendors at first, but I think when I went last year it was Joe's Tarantulas and Pinchers and Pokies. I've ordered from Arachnoiden before too...good experience. My G. pulchra came from Joe's Tarantulas, so you might want to check there if Net-bug doesn't have them.

Thank you! I contacted Anastasia via email to see if she will be at the show and if she has any for sale. It's my husband's favorite species (cant blame him they're gorgeous and adorable) he's wanted one for awhile so hopefully I can find one for him! Thank you again for the help! I will try to be early for the show but it's a good two hour drive for me
