North American Reptile Breeders Conference
On November 22–23, 2025, the North American Reptile Breeders Conference (NARBC) returns to the St. Charles Convention Center, bringing together reptile enthusiasts, breeders, and experts for a weekend of discovery. Whether you’re a longtime herpetology fan or simply curious about exotic pets, this event offers a fascinating look into the world of reptiles.
Visitors can meet professional breeders, see rare and unusual species up close, and learn about proper reptile care. From snakes and lizards to geckos and tortoises, the diversity of animals on display makes this event one of the most anticipated in the reptile community. Educational seminars and demonstrations provide valuable insight into conservation, husbandry, and responsible pet ownership.
For collectors and hobbyists, the vendor floor is a treasure trove. Exhibitors showcase enclosures, lighting, and feeding supplies alongside the animals themselves. It’s an opportunity to connect with some of the leading names in the reptile world and expand your knowledge while building your collection.
Families are welcome too — children are often captivated by the chance to see creatures they’ve only read about in books or seen in documentaries. The event offers a safe and educational environment where curiosity comes alive.
After a day at the Convention Center, visitors can enjoy the historic charm of downtown St. Charles, just minutes away. With its brick-paved streets, boutique shops, and riverfront dining, it’s the perfect complement to an exciting weekend of reptile exploration.
