Repticon 2013

Saturday, November 16, 2013

Thousands of people came to the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville to peruse the thousands of snakes, lizards, and other reptiles for sale during the 2013 Repticon. Breeders from all over the southern United States came to put up their best specimens on display. Demonstrations by reptile handlers were also given to the crowd as they walked the aisles at the fairgrounds.
