Reptile Super Show 2026
Jan 20th 2026
Experiencing mega-shows
Reptile expos have become a growing pastime for those who enjoy the world of herpetoculture, whether new to the practice or not. What does one of America’s largest reptiles shows actually look like though? With an attendance of over 20,000 people and over 100,000 square feet of reptile vender coverage, the crowd at the Super Show is always buzzing with excitement. By the time you've gotten your ticket, you're already planning what might be worth your next investment.
The Fluker team packed our bags and flew across the US to attend another weekend of California fun, where we joined the Chewy booth for a two-day event, selling some of the best feeder insects you could find out of the whole venue. We are always excited to bring quality bugs, but expos are where you can pick up some of the best deals from us. With such a wide variety, it gives a great opportunity to those who have questions or want to try something new. One of our favorite parts about attending expos is being able to talk on a personal level to each of our visitors. Whether that's questions about our bugs or general pet husbandry, it tells us we are a trusted team of animal lovers that attendees can rely on.
Expos aren't all about selling bugs though; it's a time to see some of the rarest species of reptiles and insects. The Reptile Super Shows are not shy of having some of the best experiences between venders and animals. With as many venders as this show holds, there's something for everyone! Some of my favorite species to admire while I'm strolling the isles are monitor lizards. There are about 80 different species of monitors, and California is one of the best states to see such diversity of monitor species on the reptile market. I personally think baby lizards are adorable, but seeing full-grown monitor lizards be carried around like human babies will always be one of my favored moments. Weve even seen some have personalized strollers! With these expo’s, you’ll also see plenty of animals that breeders bring just for fun!
Most people who attend reptile expos are there with a plan of purchasing. Not only are you able to find that new animal you're going to fixate on but being able to talk extensively with the breeders brings a new feeling of responsibility to your plans. Maybe it isn't even about planning for that next animal but creating a new friendship with venders regardless. The Reptile Super Show won't let you down when it comes to finding someone to talk to about that niche species. One of our favorite people we talked to at this expo was a vendor who specializes in producing ant colonies called “Antlantis”. This breeder brings a new light to own niche micro pets along with sharing plenty of support for those interested in diving into owning something such as colony ants. Some of these vendors even bring special guests such as Adam Wickens with Wickens Wicked Reptiles, giving visitors a cool chance to meet one on one. When it comes to these larger shows, you'll notice influencers come from far and near to experience first-hand; You might even be featured in a vlog!
The Reptile Super show isn't just called a “super show” for no reason. It's a one-of-a-kind show that will either make you excited for the next one or have you planning your first visit. Whether you're walking out with that new tarantula or just a cool piece of art, there's something flashy for everyone and were sure you’ll enjoy Reptile Super Shows just as much as we do. Who knows what we bring back home to!
