Repticon 7716 Rutillio Court, New Port Richey, FL 34653

"Great place if you like your reptile babies. So many great breeders and businesses attend."

"Actually, I felt sorry for the vendors who booked their boots to be there for 2 days it was REALLY REALLY HOT inside, to the point I could only stay for less than 30-45minutes.... and would've asked for a refund for my door fee to get in, But I was in too big of a hurry to get in my car and turn on my A/C. AND THATS A FACT."

"Great place to see all kinds of reptiles from snakes to monkeys. Great prices. On everything. You can bargain with the breeders. Since there are so many there. I like sticking with the bigger shows like Tampa. Orlando. Or. Lakeland more choices."

"We go every year everyone is so nice and so many amazing animals to choose from"

"I've been going to this New Port Richey Repticon year after year and I must say that it's becoming more and more disappointing. Most of the vendors that sell animals are trying to sell "designer" animals and so any normal critter is "not worth the effort to breed" from what these vendors who attended are telling me. Here's my issue: You want a healthy animal? You're advised to buy from a breeder directly rather than get them from a pet store that keeps their animals in unhealthy conditions. Now the breeders are saying there's no money in the "normal" animals. I breed several animals and put in an application to be a vendor for this most recent Repticon. I was informed that I was on a waitlist and that the venue was already booked...Great right? Well, I found out that a business selling chocolates and candies had like 10 tables booked and a table or two of someone selling special kitchen knifes....really? I sell animals related to reptiles and the hobby and I was denied because a vendor wanted to sell chocolates at this event.. There's several of these weird vendor spots at these events and these could have been filled by excellent vendors related somehow to reptiles. There was one single vendor who specialized in bearded dragons and the cheapest they had was $90 followed by a $120 "designer" bearded... You'd think that there would be some good deals to be had here at this type of event, but everything is full price so like another review said, after you spend your money for the entrance fee (way overpriced in my opinion) then you'll also be paying full price (and then some) for most of the animals/equipment here. Overall, Repticon has been lacking more and more each time I go. It's an absolute disappointment. Hopefully they do better in the years to come and stop this 10 tables of chocolate and kitchen knifes at a reptile show silliness."
