Show Me Reptiles & Exotics Show - At Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

Show Me Reptiles is a company that organizes educational reptile events. It doesn't matter if you call us a "Reptile Expo" or a "Reptile Show" we are here for your reptile events! Show Me Reptiles didn't just pop up as a company that holds award winning educational reptile shows. We began as a "bad idea" in a family living room. The idea was called the "Show Me Reptile & Exotics Show" or "Show Me Show" for short. Reptile shows were already a thing, but we needed something different. Because the quality of the reptile community is important to us, several other events have been created to offer support to our growing communities. There are local meet and greets, Reptile Appreciation Day, community service events, reptile training events and even unique private events upon request. It doesn't stop there... Events are adapted to suit the uniqueness of the public. Show Me Reptiles evolved into more community based and more into education and conservation. A place was needed for sharing knowledge and bringing people together. Thus, The Gateway Herpetology & Entomology Club was born! Born in 2019, the club involves several supportive members. One of the great beneficial things that this free club does is raise awareness to endangered species of the Cloud Forest in Guatemala.
