Repticon

If you have a budding herpetologist at home who's kidnapping frogs to live in the bathtub, perhaps his or her obsession can be assuaged by a trip to Repticon this weekend. Held at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, this event is a see-and-shop opportunity, where local and regional breeders will be showing and selling different breeds of reptiles, amphibians, and other exotic animals—warts and all. Also presentations, Q&A sessions, and a VIP experience that lets visitors in early on Saturday. 9 am–4 pm both days. $10 per day for adults (or $15 for two-day advance pass); $5 ages 5–12; under 4 free. repticon.com.
