Thank you to all of our vendors and guests that made the 2024 San Jose Reptile Show one for the record books!!! We had 11,002 guests arrive in force over the 2 days. This number makes it the most well attended event we've hosted, and was higher than anticipated. We would like to extend an apology to everyone who felt that they were in line longer than they should have been. We will be making some adjustments for San Mateo this August and especially San Jose 2025, to make sure everyone can get in faster. With these numbers, our family run event will now be expanding to have additional outside help.

While we are on the topic of expansion, we are pleased to announce that our 2024 San Mateo Reptile Expo will now be taking place in their largest building. Not only does that mean we finally get air conditioning, but it is 2x the size of our San Jose building!!! We won't be able to fill it 100% with vendors this year, but we will have more vendors than San Jose... And if you guys come out in force and show your love to San Mateo on August 24 & 25, we will make sure that venue is 100% full in 2025!

Use code BEAT-THE-HEAT to get $10 admission to our San Mate Reptile Expo. Make sure to include all the dashes in BEAT-THE-HEAT while checking out to receive your discount. Visit www.ReptileRealms.com for tickets and show details.
