After three back-to-back sold out winter shows, we’re back for our 4th annual event—but this time, we’re turning up the heat in the Fall! Don’t miss our first-ever autumn edition of Upstate New York’s favorite reptile expo. This year's show is here to cultivate a friendly and fun - reptile show where you and your friends can have a blast wandering the magnificent world of reptiles! Last year's event had over 4,000 attendees and 50+ vendors!

We will offer limited general admission & VIP tickets online leading up to the event! We will be selling General Admission tickets at the door via cash or credit, but we highly recommend purchasing them online due to this years demand and the high likelihood of a sold out event.
Following the incredible demand from our last show in October, we’ve expanded to a 2-day format!
This allows for more space, better flow, and a much more comfortable, better-paced experience. Giving our guests the time and room to fully explore and appreciate these incredible animals, while attendance is thoughtfully spread across two days.
A fresh chapter has begun right here in New Jersey. After years without a consistent, high-quality reptile and exotic animal expo in the state, the NJ Reptile Show is focused on rebuilding and growing a strong, connected community, bringing together trusted breeders, quality vendors, and experienced reptile and exotic animal professionals from across the state.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a first-time reptile owner, or a family bringing the kids out for a unique day, this is the place to be. Looking for your next addition or stocking up on quality supplies?
You’ll find NJ’s top pet shops, breeders (reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, fish), specialized products, and knowledgeable vendors — all under one roof!
