The Final Reptile Expo of 2025: See You at the International Centre on November 30th!

As we approach the end of an exciting year in the Canadian reptile community, keepers, hobbyists, families, and enthusiasts are gearing up for the final reptile expo of 2025. Hosted at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario on November 30th, 2025, this event promises to wrap up the year with one of the largest and most anticipated gatherings of reptile lovers in the country.

Whether you're a seasoned keeper or someone discovering these incredible animals for the first time, this expo is shaping up to be an event you won’t want to miss.

A Celebration of the Reptile Community

The last expo of the year is always special. It’s a chance to catch up with breeders, connect with vendors, and explore advancements in reptile care before heading into a new season of innovation and growth. This end-of-year expo often brings a festive energy, with vendors showcasing their best animals, rare finds, new products, and holiday-season specials.

Visitors can expect:

• A wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates

• Premium enclosures, lighting, heating, and habitat accessories

• Educational presentations and hands-on opportunities

• Specialty feeders and supplements

• One-on-one conversations with experienced breeders and experts

It’s the perfect event for hobbyists looking to upgrade their setups, learn from professionals, or find their next animal companion.

What Makes the International Centre the Ideal Venue?

Located in Mississauga with easy access from major highways and ample parking, the International Centre is one of the expo’s most popular venues. Its large, open halls provide the space needed for hundreds of tables, comfortable crowd flow, and enough room to truly explore everything exhibitors have to offer.

Plus, being one of the final big events before winter sets in, many keepers appreciate the easy indoor loading and climate-controlled environment—crucial when transporting animals or supplies in late November.
