Herps Exotic Reptile & Pet Show

If you like your pets on the conversation-starting side, consider the possibilities among the thousands of reptiles, amphibians, and unfamiliar aquatic beasts assembled at the Herps Exotic Reptile & Pet Show. The largest reptile and exotic pet show in Louisiana slithers into Slidell's Harbor Center this weekend, promising thousands of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates to meet, greet, and, perhaps, to take home with you. If you're not sure, this show also incorporates a large educational section, at which attendees can come nose-to-(insert relevant appendage here) with representatives of various distantly related branches of the animal kingdom. 10 am–5 pm Saturday, 10 am–4 pm Sunday at 100 Harbor Center Boulevard. Day pass: $10 for adults, $5 for children ages five to twelve; and free for children four and younger. 2-day pass: $15 for adults, $8 for children ages five to twelve, and free for children four and younger. herpshow.net.
