South Caroline Reptile & Exotic Animal Show in Columbia

From the Old Southeastern Show Series . . .


2009 Show Dates (Saturday & Sunday) March 28 & 29 June 20 & 21 November 7 & 8		Jamil Temple 206 Jamil Rd. Columbia, SC 29210

For over seven years the South Carolina Reptile & Exotic Animal Show thrived at the Jamil Temple in Columbia, South Carolina, before moving to other cities and venues. In November 2006, under new Repticon management, the show made a triumphant return to its original location. We were thrilled with the amount of positive feedback we received about the show being back where it belonged. Again we came back in June & November 2007 for more successful shows, and a complete vendor sell-out in 2008. We are pleased to be returning three times in 2009 with this popular favorite. Come experience one of the hottest venomous and non-venomous shows in the Southeast!

Featuring reptile and amphibian breeders and wholesalers, reptile pet products and supplies, educational seminars and exhibits, and fun-filled activities for the entire family!
