The Northern Nevada Exotic Pet Expo is coming to the capital city this weekend, June 15-16 at the Carson City Community Center.
According to organizers, exotic pet vendors from all over the western U.S. join the expo each year bringing reptiles, exotic pets, supplies, and much more.
“We are dedicated to supporting small businesses and to promoting standard of care,” organizers said. “(The expo is) a fun family event that teaches responsibility of pet welfare through education and introduction. We advocate for proper environments, handling, correct cage standards, responsible breeding, escape prevention, proper procedures when in nature, as well as conservation of animals.
"We strive to teach responsible ownership in all ways, whether buying a new family member, trades or sales of all appropriate animals. Through it all we facilitate the cooperation of small businesses, rescues, and our community.”
The event is for you if you’re searching for a new pet, supplies and feeders, or just want to be introduced to all kinds of amazing animals.
The event runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Community Center is located at 851 E William St, Carson City.
Ticket prices are as follows:
Adults (13 and over) $12

A portion of tickets sales will be given to 4-H (Cold Blooded Critters) to continue further education for kids and animals.
