Tiny dirt crocodile! These things have got to have the strongest bite force for their size, I swear. That little chomp was through the glove and she didn't even really mean it, she let go right away.

My favorite pet bitey dirt, Lady Nanbyo. Really love this species, definitely want some of the other night lizard species. Even though I don't see her often, I can't get over how rad they look.

Yellow spotted night lizard, Lepidophyma flavimaculatum.

Show schedule for next year!

✨2025 Show Dates ✨
Our next event for this year is in Charleston at WVSU on Nov 17. This will be our last show in the Charleston area until May 25, 2025.

We have gotten lots of feedback from our guests and vendors, so we've made changes accordingly! Thanks to all of you, the WVRE has grown a lot in the past years. We can definitely make good use of more vendor space + additional parking and nearby lodging for the folks that support the show!

Our Huntington venue (Marshall Health Network Arena) is only about 45 minutes from our Charleston venue at WVSU, and it's absolutely worth the drive! We are able to host many more awesome vendors in Huntington and there is always something for everyone!

We hope you will join us on Nov 17 to have an awesome WVRE in Charleston!
