The shows, which are held in Anaheim, CA., Tinley Park, IL., and Arlington, TX., also offers attendees the chance to purchase new additions to their reptile collections. At each conference, the duo hosts educational programs for vendors and attendees alike. Each event ends with an auction, with the proceeds going to PIJAC and USARK.
