**Thanks to Tom Crutchfield for the great albino iguana image**
Repticon Sarasota debuted in 2004 at Sarasota's Sahib Shrine. After a few years of well-received shows, Repticon outgrew Sahib and focused on the greater Sarasota-Bradenton area with great shows at the Manatee Civic Center just North of Bradenton. In April of 2010, Repticon brought the first full-scale Repticon expo to Sarasota proper at the Robarts Arena, part of the Sarasota Fairgrounds complex. (Repticon will still return to the Manatee Civic Center in November of this year.) A great time was had by all. Be sure to look to the future for another return of a Repticon favorite in this great new home in Sarasota with room for up to 150 tables of reptile excitement!

Exploding on the Sarasota scene off of great presentations at other Repticon shows, their presentation and seminar will be hands on, as the kids get to touch the animals and hold some of them, as they learn the special stories of these rescued herps from Bob Shumaker. If you like meeting the big reptiles, stop by this presentation and learn more.
