Reptile Super Show

This is a cool place to come to if you’re into reptiles and stuff. We came back here hoping to look for more razorback turtles that we found a few years back but they didn’t have any this year. But we did get to see a 30 year old giant tortoise, which was pretty cool too. Along with the other little critters such as: snakes, lizards, spiders, etc., the craziest item I saw was a $ 30,000 albino toad/​frog! Wow!
On the less creepy side they also had a lot of chameleons with beautiful colors on them. But it’s always cool to see what kind of reptiles they have each year but I’d still probably just stick with the turtles.
This place also sell a variety of cages, tanks, branches, food, pretty much whatever your little friend needs they have here. A good place to take the kids too if they’re not too scared.

Disappointed this year. We went Sunday and it was a snake exhibit. Very little variety of other reptiles. Last year was better. Guess they’re going through funding cut backs. Only thing I found excellent was the people displaying the reptiles. They were very helpful and informative.

Get here early! This show is a hopping busy one with lots of selection and things going on. I got here super early but still didn’t get into the place that quick. There was bad crowd control in the beginning but once people got inside, it seemed to work itself out. I’d totally recommend going to this show as it’s such a huge offering of so many different types of animals. Not very many «good deals» there, so if you’re looking for a sale or to find an animals at discount price — you won’t find it here.
There was a «closeout» area where there were lots of cheaply prices supplies for reptile owners. I thought that was pretty cool and bought some things there. I can’t wait for next year!

I Had A Super Good Time ! Lots of different types of reptiles! Great deals & reasonable prices ! Bought my first snake here yesterday! & Got A lot of feeders too for my beardies! Wish it was more often !

The Reptile Super Show IS a super show!
Tons of reptiles, some amphibians, tarantulas, products for pets, all kinds of reptile product vendors, plenty of show specials, and BEER! I don’t care for beer but I know some do.
I was determined to get to the Fairplex in Pomona super early. Arrived at about 9:40, the event itself began at 10 a.m. The Reptile Super Show took place in one of the main halls at the Fairplex. I thought being so early that we would be one of the first in line. HA! Others had my same idea! The line wrapped around the building. As we waited in line we got copies of a reptile magazine and a goody bag with samples for reptiles (water conditioner, tank cleaner, food). The line moved at a decent pace so I wasn’t too bothered by it.

Entrance fee for adults was $ 14 and $ 9 for kids. Ages 6 and under were free. Upon paying for our ticket, we scored a few more freebies.
Took the first aisle and oohed and aahed over all the exotic breeds of geckos and chameleons and snakes for about two hours. The animals were not out and and about scurrying around, they’re all in their nice and neat containers, some pets were being carried responsibly by the vendors. The majority of the animals looked great and well taken care of. The sale prices were listed on almost everything I saw. All the vendors tables were well attended. The vendors themselves were extremely hospitable and answered everyone’s questions. I only encountered one vendor who was a bit pushy but he became distracted as soon as another customer looked interested. I really liked how much information each vendor had about their animal and/​or product. I learned a lot!
I took my 11 year old son and his best friend. They both had a blast. Several vendors let the kids touch the animals. Some didn’t and I let the kids know this is NOT a petting zoo, we were there to observe and learn. The vendors were very kind to the kids and helpful when they asked a zillion questions.
A lot of people walked out with purchased pets. I saw a lot of people walking around with bearded dragons on their shoulders or chests. I can’t wait until my beardie will do the same! Great experience, will definitely be attending the next show.

Other than being a little too crowded I really enjoyed my experiance at the Reptile Super Show. Basically it’s a giant convention or breeders, vendors, and shops who have everything to do with reptiles, amphibians, and invertabrates. It’s usually only $ 10 bucks to get in for adults and $ 6 for kids. You can see specialty breed reptiles or very common reptiles. You can buy all the supplies you would need for your cold blooded friend here too. Great prices on everything you would need or want. Everyone is also very knowledgable so it would be a great time to ask questions. This show moves around between Pomono, San Diego, Las Vegas and Anaheim I believe so go to their website to see when it’s coming to you.
