California Exposition & State Fair (Cal Expo)

Northern California's largest reptile show returns to Sacramento the weekend of April 27th and 28th, at the Pavilion at Cal Expo! With more than 19,000 people in attendance and more than 3,000 reptiles on display, the Sacramento Reptile Show is the largest reptile show in Northern California and a must see experience for all ages! For April 2024, we have brought back the ever popular venomous reptile display featuring more than 45 venomous species from around the world including King Cobras and Black Mambas. Brad's World Reptiles will also be setting up a reptile education center to teach you about the world of reptiles. And the Sacramento Reptile Show is your opportunity to get up close and personal with a LIVE alligator! Wild Things will be back to give you an opportunity to meet a 10ft, 100lb alligator.

We also provide the opportunity to purchase a new reptile pet from one of the many professional reptile breeders at the event. The show features all the latest reptile products needed to care for your new reptile pet. The Sacramento Reptile show is your one stop for everything reptile in Sacramento.
