In 2007, Repticon scrapped original plans to come to Charlotte, North Carolina. However, we continued to look for a suitable venue as demand was extremely high for a premium reptile & exotic animal show in the largest metro area of the Carolinas. An excellent new venue was found just north of Charlotte; and, in February 2009, Repticon held a Valentine’s Day weekend show! The show was a smashing success and very popular with the large local reptile community. The show returned that fall and again in following years to great acclaim. This show is now a Repticon staple, much to the joy and benefit of Charlotte area herpers!
