REXPO • Reptile Events, Henrietta NY

I went with my daughter, she has 5 snakes, I had held hers a couple times, so when we went, I enjoyed myself and was amazed at all the reptiles and everything available, I came home with a Baby Ball Python, his color is Bamboo Chocolate, and everything he needs was worth Every Penny, I Love him soo much and I have only had him for 8 days. Every vendor there was very pleasant.

Awesome experience! Had a wide range of reptiles as well as arachnids and various other fun friends. First time.going and I can assure you I'll be going on October 28th to add a friend to my house!

This was our first time attending. Everyone we encountered was very professional and very friendly. I browsed and card collected for future use. I am glad we got the VIP early entry because I was in a wheelchair the whole time and it started to get extremely busy around 10amish. I had a blast looking and learning. I got to hold a bird but didn't get a picture sadly. Also got to pet some snakes and a larger gecko which was awesome. I will definitely attend again in the future and wear my rexpo t-shirt next time. Thanks for having us. Until next time.

I wish I could post the emails from the creator of the event and the emails that I got from the owner of the building saying that rexpo would pull their show out of the armory if the armory was to rent to another reptile show they are monopolizing and Feel very threatened by having another reptile show they select A small amount of local breeders they also refuse to reach out to local breeders when there are cancelations and because I tried to create another event at and with the armory while asking for the creators of rexpo permission And to not step on any one's toes to also pace out the show a month before or a month after rexpo They responded with if you rent to any other reptile show we will pull our show from your venue All I am trying to do is bring more recognition to the reptile community and for these creators of this event it seems to be all about the money and These events should be for family fun and bringing recognition to the reptile community.

Overall I enjoyed the event. My daughter wanted a specific snake and of course they had one. The reason I give it 4 starts is not due to any of the vendors who all were reasonable and informative. It was the venue.
A:) The layout of the event led to a lot of bottle necks is certain areas. Made it hard to move around especially with a young child with you.
B:) Lack of internet service during the event. Minimally a Wi-Fi setup for the vendors so they could reasonably cash out people. I had to leave the building to PayPal someone the money cause the service was so bad in the building and there was no public or event Wi-Fi.
Beyond that my child and myself would go again if we were to buy another snake just be aware of above limitations or come with lot's o cash.
