THE REPTILE EXPO EXPERIENCE


The world of reptilian specialty pet is a fascinating adventure that requires a lifetime commitment. No specialty pet should be considered a gift or a novelty. The Reptile Expos are hosted and supported by Canadian vendors that are working to provide domestically bred individuals of species that otherwise could be in many circumstances endangered or eliminated from their existence due to such events as habitat loss from the ever-growing human population.

The Reptile Expo is an opportunity to view first hand some of the greatest species of reptilian specialty pets from across Canada. Its an opportunity to be educated by some the leading curators of these fascinating animals, learn about the advocacy groups and engage with others that share the passion

All attendees are encouraged to research and understand the level of knowledge necessary to share their lives with the species of reptilian specialty pet of consideration. Always keep in mind the opportunity to share the experience of herpetoculture is a privilege. Welcome to the world of herpetoculture!
