🚨 Important Disclaimer – No Turtles or Tortoises at the NJ Reptile Show

We want to clarify an error that appeared in a recent print article published by The Two Times River. The paper incorrectly stated that turtles/tortoises would be available at the New Jersey Reptile Show. They are not permitted under New Jersey regulations, and there will be no show vendors selling or display them.

➡️ Please note: Turtles and tortoises will NOT be at our show.

If turtles or tortoises were the main reason for your visit, we want you to be fully informed before purchasing tickets!

That said, the show will still feature an incredible lineup of snakes, lizards, geckos, amphibians, invertebrates, and other exotic species from around the world — along with knowledgeable vendors and supplies!
