- Amphibians: A wide range of Frogs (like Pacman Frogs and Dart Frogs), Toads, and Salamanders are also featured, along with the specialized setups they require.
Arachnids and Invertebrates
For those who prefer their pets with more legs, the expos offer an impressive array of invertebrates. Vendors specializing in these creatures are always present, offering expert advice on husbandry.
- Tarantulas: A major highlight, with vendors like Juice's Arthropods often attending. You can find everything from docile beginner species to rare and colorful arboreals.
- Scorpions: Various species, including the popular Emperor Scorpions.
- Other Invertebrates: Praying Mantises, Millipedes, and various feeder insects are readily available.
Essential Products and Topical Authority for Herp Owners

Attendees can find a comprehensive range of products essential for maintaining healthy and happy exotic pets. The ability to see and feel the equipment in person and discuss it with the vendors who use it is invaluable.

Planning Your Visit: Tickets and Tips
To make the most of your 2025 Las Vegas Reptile Expo experience, a little preparation goes a long way. Since both events follow a similar format, these tips apply to both the March and September shows.
Ticket Information:
While 2025 pricing is subject to change, expos of this size typically offer one-day general admission tickets. Purchasing tickets online in advance is highly recommended to avoid lines and often secure a slight discount. Admission usually grants full access for the day, including all vendors and the door prize giveaways.
Topical Tips for Attendees:
- Arrive Early: The best selection of rare morphs and popular animals often sells out quickly, especially on Saturday mornings.
- Bring Cash: While many vendors accept credit cards or digital payments, cash is king and can speed up transactions.
- Bring a Carrier: If you plan to purchase an animal, bring a secure, appropriately sized carrier or box to transport your new pet safely.
- Do Your Research: Know what species you are interested in beforehand. Research their care requirements and typical pricing so you can make an informed decision at the show.
