Repticon Greenville Preview: Tickets, Vendors, and Reptile Care

Guy Mc Farlane

Repticon Greenville is coming up September 12th and 13th, 2026, and we are so excited to be back at the Hejaz Temple.

Jay Tacey

Right, and for anyone set to attend, that is at 119 Beverly Road in Greenville, South Carolina. Formerly known as the Greenville Shrine Club and Event Center.

Guy Mc Farlane

Exactly. Saturday runs 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday runs 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. And getting your tickets online ahead of time makes arriving super easy.

Lisa Parker

Oh, absolutely! As show managers, we always push folks toward those online pre-purchases. If you buy online ahead of time, you bypass the main ticket queue entirely. And there are some great options, like the fifteen dollar Super Ticket that covers both days.

Michael Arnold

Wait, fifteen dollars for the full weekend? That is HUGE for families coming in for multiple days.

Lisa Parker

It really is! Or if you only want Saturday, it is twelve dollars all day, or ten dollars if you enter after 1:00 PM. Sunday all day is also twelve dollars, and kids aged 5 to 12 are just six dollars, while four and under get in free.

Jay Tacey

That after 1:00 PM entry discount on Saturday is fantastic for anyone looking to avoid the morning crowd and enjoy a relaxed afternoon on the show floor.

Guy Mc Farlane

Precisely, Jay. It makes for a much smoother experience for families, and it gives everyone plenty of space to see the animals up close.

Jay Tacey

And do not forget about the hourly live animal encounters. Those educational presentations on stage are always a massive highlight for kids and adults alike.

Michael Arnold

Yeah, getting to see exotic animals up close and learn directly from experts is what Repticon is all about.

Guy Mc Farlane

It really brings the whole community together.

Michael Arnold

Speaking of the vendors, I am really looking forward to seeing some of the specific vendors lined up for September. Take AHP Exotics, for instance. Founded back in 1997 by Bill Albright, they are now based right here in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

Lisa Parker

Oh, absolutely! They bring decades of hands on expertise and a huge variety of captive bred reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids.

Michael Arnold

Exactly. Whether you are looking for rare species or reliable advice, having a trusted South Carolina vendor with that depth of experience at the show is a huge win for local hobbyists.

Jay Tacey

That depth of experience is crucial because proper care and husbandry knowledge directly support long term animal health and welfare.

Lisa Parker

And another vendor to keep an eye out for is Cinderella Dragons. They focus heavily on specialized bearded dragon morphs like hypos, translucents, and leatherbacks.

Michael Arnold

Now, with bearded dragons, biosecurity is a big topic. How are they handling health screening?

Lisa Parker

They strictly test for Adenovirus, or ADV. Screening their breeding stock ensures that hatchlings are healthy before they ever reach a table. That level of transparency gives buyers total peace of mind.

Michael Arnold

As someone who buys and ships animals constantly, my top advice at any show table is always inspect the animal closely before buying. Look at clear eyes, clean vents, active movement, and ask the breeder direct questions.

Lisa Parker

And hold onto your receipt and breeder contact information! Repticon is an exposition platform, so all purchases are direct transactions between guests and independent vendors. Having that vendor name and phone number ensures you have long term support for care questions weeks down the road.

Guy Mc Farlane

It creates an accountable ecosystem. Quality breeding practices paired with informed buyers makes the entire community stronger.

Jay Tacey

Well said. It is shaping up to be an outstanding exposition this September in Greenville.
