Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Reptile Realms has always been the company behind The San Jose Reptile Show. A few years ago we also started a show out in Tulare. Now we have a show in San Mateo, so we wanted to show brand consistency across the board. We know that customers usually just refer to a show by the city name, but maybe it will catch on... Reptile Realms San Mateo, Reptile Realms San Jose, Reptile Realms Tulare, Reptile Realms Unknown City?
Absolutely! San Jose is home for us, and we came back on June 24/25 of 2023. June will likely be the new month for the San Jose Reptile Show going forward.
No, Please leave your existing pets at home. You can always buy another while you are at the show.
Of course you can! We have knowledgeable breeders and vendors ready to help you pick out the perfect new cold-blooded addition to your collection... Plus all of the supplies you will need to create the perfect habitat.
Discounted tickets can be purchased online up until 8pm the Friday before the event. Full priced tickets can be purchased at the door using either Cash or Credit Card. All of the vendors set their own prices for the items at their booths. Most will take both cash & credit card as forms of payment.
Only while buying tickets at the door. Just ask our cashiers, but please be prepared to show an appropriate ID for your discount.
We will have onsite food concessions open as provided by the venue. Most fairgrounds have a "No Outside Food and Drink Policy." Please reach out to the venue with any questions concerning their specific policies.
