This was a great piece, Sparky! I wish that we had shows just for inverts around here, but at least we usually do get a few at the reptile shows. It was neat actually seeing "Ken The Bug Guy", with whom I've done business before, and finally being able to put a face behind an email, lol! I went to a reptile show yesterday in Columbia, and managed to snag a young female Brachypelma klaasii in a trade, along with a four-month-old female pinstripe Salmon Boa from Rich Ihle and Kerry King(yes, Slayer fans, THAT Kerry King-he's one of the top Boa breeders in the country) bloodlines, but the news around here isn't interested in reporting anything good about arachnids or reptiles. The local news crews don't even bother showing up at the reptile shows here. The more good press that spiders and other inverts can get, the better.
