It started big and it just keeps growing! It is the largest showcase of reptiles and everything reptile-related in Texas. The show draws vendors from across the country and thousands of attendees. You don't want to miss it!Do not forget about the USARK benefit auction Saturday night following the show.
From NARBC: "The auction is our way of supporting USARK. It's a great time for getting together after the show Saturday night with friends from all over the world. If you don't know who
USARK is, you need to find out. The night includes an auction with 100% of the proceeds going to
USARK. We ask that everyone attending give something for the auction. Your help will be returned to you as
USARK fights for our rights to own and sell herps."
Included in this auction, along with LOTS of other items, are two awesome original paintings from
Hidden Forest Art Gallery. There will be a painting of hatchling sea turtles (see below) and one of a green tree monitor. Thanks again, Gamini and Lisa! All show attendees are welcome and bidding is free!The auction has both live and silent portions so there are opportunities for everyone. Show attendees can come and hang out with the vendors while enjoying the always amusing antics performed by Brian Potter.USARK appreciates the continued support from Bob, Brian, and the NARBC crew.

We know some members have been waiting too long and we understand the frustration. Unfortunately, we must switch our shirt fulfillment company. The current company has not kept up so we must now secure a new distribution channel. The new company will be starting with a 6-month backlog but will catch us up ASAP. Shirts will ship in the order of membership registration date.
We realize some members have already waited for months. Our new system will get shirts out much faster after we are done playing catch-up. Our apologies again for the delay but we are working to get all shirts out and to avoid this problem in the future. Have a good day.
