Scales, Legs (Lots of Legs), and the Breeders Behind Them
Breeders and vendors are hauling in reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, small exotic mammals, and aquatics. The vendor list keeps growing, and these names have already claimed a table:
- Paladin Exotics: tarantulas, scorpions, and other exotic invertebrates for the eight-legged-curious
- CJM Beardies & More: bearded dragons, front and center
- Hendricks Family Serpents: Super Dwarf Reticulated Pythons, corn snakes, and hognoses
- Frosty Pythons: ball pythons, corn snakes, and isopods
- BT Reptiles: more ball pythons and hognoses, because you can never have too many
- Firestone Reptiles LLC: reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates
- Amy’s Kritters: exotic animal encounters

Serenitys Exotics, a small family reptile breeder, is sponsoring the show.
Habitat Haul: Enclosures, Feeders, and 3D-Printed Finds
Already have a scaly roommate? This is your chance to size up enclosures, décor, and care essentials in person instead of squinting at product photos at midnight:
- BT Reptiles: PVC enclosures and substrate
- Frosty Pythons: reptile and bioactive supplies
- Hambones: 3D-printed items
- Planet Reptile and Rising Son Rodent Feeders: feeders

Plants and bioactive supplies are on the tables too, if your tank is overdue for a glow-up.
Just Here to Look? Totally Allowed
Nobody’s checking your wallet at the door. Plenty of guests come to browse, snap photos, and pepper the breeders with questions. All ages are welcome. Got a kid who won’t stop talking about snakes? They just found their ultimate field trip.

Thinking about bringing one home? The show is a smart place to learn about an animal before you commit. Animals on display are for sale, and organizers recommend checking county and state laws before you adopt. One firm rule: no pets allowed. Your dog will have to hear about it later 😉
