Reptiles, Exotic Animals and More

Visitors can expect much more than snakes and lizards. The show will feature reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, aquatic animals, plants and other exotic animals.

Vendors will also have supplies for both new and experienced keepers, including feeders, enclosures, bioactive supplies, décor and other pet-care items.

The event can also be a fun stop for families who simply want to see some unusual animals and learn more about reptiles and other species, even if they aren’t planning to bring a new pet home.

Shop and Meet Breeders

Breeders and vendors from around the region and country are expected to participate, giving attendees a chance to ask questions, learn about different animals and shop for supplies in one place.

The Columbia show is being held for one day only, with VIP guests getting an hour of early access before general admission begins at 10 a.m.

Tickets and additional information are available through Show Me Reptile Show.
