SOS² is celebrating its 10th year in 2012! This event promises to be one not to be missed!

Our line up this year includes a photo competition, as well as a colouring competition for the younger members of the herping community.

This year we are also welcoming Jay Brewer from Prehistoric Pets, California USA. He will be bringing along various Boa, Burmese and Reticulated Python morphs, which have never been available in South Africa.

The expo’s new home is at the luxurious Emperors Palace, situated in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. Emperors Palace boasts with ample parking and a number of shops to provide food and beverages as well. SOS² Reptile Expo has proven to be the biggest expo of its kind.

You are guaranteed to see a larger variety of reptiles on display than what any snake park or zoo in South Africa has to offer. Besides animals being sold there are also a variety of cages and accessories available, as well as clothing and educational courses being advertised.

In the past visitors have come from all over SA and a few even flew in from other countries to come see the reptiles we have available here in South Africa. Many thousands of people attended the expos to browse through or even just to come and see all types of fascinating reptiles on display.

The community project for 2009 was the Swaziland Antivenom Fund, which was a success and with the aid of the reptile community were able to buy a number of vials of SAVP anti venom and hand it over to the contact person in Swaziland whom has put it to good use.

Here are a few pointers to remember:

When attending the Reptile Expo, please do not bring your own reptiles / pets along with you. Remember it is stressful for your animal.

All children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

No venomous snakes will be sold to children under the age of 16 or without the consent and in the presence of their parents.

You really produced a very successful and professional event and can rely on our participation at next year’s show.

Tickets are available at the door.
