On a tip from a loyal reader we were told to visit the Cleveland area reptile show that is held monthly at the UAW Hall in Brook Park across from the Ford Motor plant. The show is run by Rob and Amy Zerkle who are from the Columbus area and started the gathering for a place where breeders can sell their animals and educate people about caring for their animals. The show is in its fourth year and draws up 1,000 per day with the summer and fall months being the most popular time for attendees. The reptile show is also far reaching with exhibitors from several different states and people buying snakes and other reptiles coming in all the way from Canada at times.

The event costs $4 for entry. If you attend you will see snakes, turtles, lizards, equipment, and feeding supplies. Below is the dates and times of the upcoming shows which are held at 17250 Hummel Rd in Brook Park and is right off of Henry Ford Blvd. The show starts at

SEPT 6th
