Reptile Super Show Las Vegas It may be in a new city but it is the same great Reptile Super Show. The Vegas edition hits town for the first time this weekend and it is going to be big! Come and see why herp keepers flock to southern California for the Super Shows. This is a reptile show like Vegas has never seen and you do not want to miss it! Thank you to Ramy and the Super Show crew for their continued USARK support.
The USARK benefit auction is right after the show on Saturday night and just down the hallway in the convention center. Stick around and support our work to protect your freedom to have reptiles and amphibians as pets. The auction is FREE to attend and everyone is welcome. We will have a preview of the many donations at our booth. Just stop by for details. We can use volunteers, too!

Hidden Forest Art Gallery has graciously donated a fabulous original painting (pic below). This time we have the "Sri Lankan Snake Charmer" featuring cobras, Russell's viper, and a rock python. It is an 18x24" oil on canvas piece. Thank you, Gamini and Lisa! This is just one of the hundreds of donations that will be at the auction.
There will be live and silent auctions, and we'll wrap it up quickly so everyone can enjoy the Vegas nightlife. We appreciate everyone who donates and attends our auctions as USARK would not be possible without our supporters.

"The Reptile Super Show is meant to educate the public about pets they may otherwise never get the chance to know, but we are also passionate about captive breeding and keeping the populations of some of the world’s most interesting creatures alive and well. Educational, fun, and no doubt exciting, the Reptile Super Show is all about showing off animals to the world that deserve our attention. This show opens your eyes to a world you may have previously disregarded. There is no better place to make the decision about bringing home a reptile pet because all of the best animals and supplies are going to be available, along with professional breeders who can educate you about how to properly care for your new family member." - RSS
