Best place to buy tank?

Since I don't have a snake yet, I'm wondering where is the best place to buy a snake tank?
We're planning to attend a reptile show later this month, is that a good place to buy a 20-gallon tank and supplies? A local petstore will sell a 20-gallon for about $120, including all the necessary supplies, but that includes a normal cornsnake baby.
Can I buy a plastic travel cage at the show, or should I plan to bring one to bring a baby home?
Thanks!
 
I am sure you can get all you would need at the show. I always mix match my set ups. I have found some good deals at Petco or petsmart on just the tanks with the sliding latching tops. Then buy the UTH and substrat from a local petstore.

Normal corns are beautiful, but if you want other morphs I would wait for the show! The snakes that you buy at shows I believe come in a lil container for travel.

I have never been to a show tho! so cant tell you too much!

I can only tell you that at the reptile show in my city the 20L gallon reptile tank was cheaper than at Petsmart(if it is not on sell the on sell price was about the same). I did not price other supplies. However, I can 100% tell you that the price of a corn snake is a lot cheaper at a reptile show than a pet store.

If you buy a corn snake at a reptile show it will come in a deli cup so you can take it home in that.
