About the show
Tye-Dyed Iguana is thrilled to bring back C.R.A.B.S., our reptile and amphibian breeder show first launched in 2009 and 2010. This updated version is built not only for breeders and hobbyists, but also for families who want to explore reptiles up close, learn from experts, and maybe bring home their new pet. With trusted vendors, a welcoming atmosphere, and plenty to see, C.R.A.B.S. is the perfect event for parents, kids, and seasoned reptile enthusiasts alike.
