Welcome, brave soul, to your very first reptile show a magical place where the smell of crickets mixes with the aroma of excitement (and possibly snake poop). Here’s what you can expect, from the perspective of us, the charming, slightly caffeinated reptile vendors:
1. The “I-just-came-for-the-snakes-but-now-I-want-a-tarantula” Dilemma
You came in thinking you’d pick up a cute little ball python. But now you’re eyeing the tarantulas and scorpions like they’re the latest iPhone. Happens to the best of us. We won’t judge. In fact, we’ll encourage it. You have two hands, after all.

7. Leaving with More Reptiles Than You Planned
Oh, you just came for a look, right? But surprise! You’re now the proud owner of two new reptiles, some feeder rats, a tarantula, and that one tank cleaner we swore was the be
