It was my first experience it was a bit crowded. I really enjoyed it, every one was really helpful. I brought a Crested Gecko I was able to get almost everything I needed. I had a great time and I found it very enjoyable. Look forward to go again.
I LOVED that it was a Sunday so I could attend as I work Saturdays.
There was a nice selection of vendors, and I Did make purchases, but it was extremely crowded. At times it was impossible to get Near the vendors. Maybe you’re ready for a larger venue! 😃
This was an amazing and educational experience. The staff was extremely professional and provided a safe space for all. The vendors was great too. They took their time answering questions and letting people interact with the different reptiles available.
I would rate this event a 10/10. I can't wait for the next one.
It was a lot of fun and super grateful for the people who allowed me to hold and interact with the animals. It was really packed so I'd recommend the event people possibly changing it to time slots and maybe more limited tickets. It could've just been the time we went but it felt very overcrowded. So happy with the bearded dragon I went home with. When purchasing all her living necessities the man helping us was wonderful. We did express that we were starting from ground 0 and he did not include a heating lamp just the UVB but overall very helpful
First time at an event like this. I loved it. Throughly enjoyed myself, and had the opportunity to handle some beautiful animals and learn about different varieties of reptiles and amphibians. Great Expo👌🏾
The dealers were very good and knowledgeable. They get 5 stars.
The 3 stars is due to overselling the event. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder shuffling together down the aisles. It made it very difficult to get near a vendor's table and I am sure the room exceeded fire safety maximums. I understand that it is a fundraiser for the organization, but ticket sales should be limited or control the crowd better by selling tickets good for a specific entrance time
Loved it do more like it
It was a great experience for my family. My son was able to fulfill a wish of petting a snake and learning more about them, which meant a lot to him.
My only feedback is that the venue felt a bit small for the size of the crowd. Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than planned because my son had difficulty handling the crowd. A larger venue with more space between tables would allow families to move around comfortably and enjoy the experience even more.
Thank you
Such a nice event! What a lovely experience! A huge variety to learn from. I purchased a new pet tarantula as well :)
Really enjoyed taking our grandchildren to this event because of the range of animals and vendors. However, only giving 4 star because the venue was too small for the number of visitors. With a larger facility there could also be demonstrations by vendors showing how to handle and care for the various reptiles present.
But they were enthralled as was my wife and I.
