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.
It is the last Super Show of 2023 and once again it will be huge. HUGE! This show has it all and it is back in Pomona this weekend so head over to check out vendors from across the country. There is so much to see at this not-to-miss show! The USARK benefit auction is right after the show on Saturday night at 7:00 in the Sheraton hotel (601 W McKinley Ave) next to the Fairplex. 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 have three donation previews listed below with pics at the bottom of the page:
- Carpet python with staghorn fern and orchids 24×36”. Oil on board and framed. Value $10,000 from Hidden Forest Art Gallery.
- Crested gecko and Barbie pagodas fungus. Acrylic gouache on illustration board and framed. 16×16″ and $2,500 value from Hidden Forest Art Gallery.
- Bothriechis schlegelii (eyelash viper) 24×30″ photo print on metal. Donated by Daniel Solis of Jungle Diaries wildlife photography expeditions.
There will be live and silent auctions, and we’ll wrap it up quickly so everyone can enjoy the remainder of the evening. We appreciate everyone who donates and attends as USARK would not be possible without these auctions and our supporters. Volunteers can email vanessa@usark.org for details. Thank you to Ramy and the Super Show crew for your continued USARK and herp community support.

“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
