What We're All About
For over 15 years, the Salon des Reptiles has been a great place to learn all about reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and snakes with the focus on education:
- Hands on experience with the fascinating world of reptiles.
- Inform people on common and rare specimens, their origin and husbandry.
- Educate the public about responsible ownership of these pets.
- Eliminate the fear of handling and touching of certain species.
- Eliminate as possible prejudice and sensational images.
Reptiles are very different from other animals; it is important to educate yourself and understand them before ever buying one of these amazing creatures. Make sure you ask a reptile specialist all the questions necessary before buying a reptile. Here are some examples of questions you may ask all of our exhibitors and hobbyists present at the Salon des Reptiles:
- How long do they live?
- What is the maximum length that they can get?
- What kind of habitat do they need? Temperature ? Humidity ? Desertic ? Tropical ? Etc...
- What do they eat? How much does it cost to feed and maintain them?
- Do veterinarians see these type of animals?
All these questions are very important and we urge you not buy a reptile on the spur of the moment. That is what Salon des Reptiles is all about: to educate without any sales.
