Repticon: A walk among wild things

Posted

Repticon is coming to Jacksonville with a mixture of vendors and breeders. This family-oriented, fun-filled event offers guests an opportunity to learn about animals not normally seen in local pet stores. Breeder-vendors are always willing to teach in their field of herpetology. 

Guests can also shop for a new family pet among the hundreds of reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids and small exotic animals. Repticon Jacksonville is also a good place to get merchandise, cages, supplies, both live and frozen feeders, as well as to get expert advice about caring for their new pet. 

This event, held at the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair & Expo Center, 510 Fairgrounds Place, Jacksonville, offers a unique family outing suitable for all ages and for a very diverse range of enthusiasts.
