Wasatch Reptile Expo comes to Salt Lake with reptiles, amphibians, & arthropods

Jack, the leopard gecko, prowls around his terrarium like a cat.  He even arches his back when he's pet.  He's one loved lizard.  And he was obtained from Canyon Reptiles at last year's Wasatch Reptile Expo.  This year's Wasatch Reptile Expo is sure to be a must see event!

The Expo is held at Utah State Fairpark (located 155 North 1000 West,  Salt Lake City, Utah 84116) and is just $6 per person and free for children 4 and under.  Whether you are interested in a new scaley member of the family or not, WRE is fun for the whole family.  You can see snakes of every morph in the rainbow, giant Sulcata tortoises and their tiny baby counterparts (a good lesson in longevity. Tiny turtles GROW!), and more tarantulas than the cast of Arachnaphobia.

There are educational programs, lots just to see, and if you are in the market for a reptile or amphibian prices are well below retail pet shops, many who purchase at this very show.
