North America Reptile Breeders Conference

The North American Reptile Breeders Conference & Trade Show (NARBC) returns to Saint Charles! Whether you’re a passionate reptile enthusiast, experienced breeder, or just curious about these incredible animals, NARBC is the place to be.

Held in just four cities each year, NARBC is known as one of the premier reptile shows in the world. You’ll have the rare opportunity to meet top reptile breeders from across the country, explore cutting-edge breeding projects, and view some of the most stunning captive-bred reptiles available today.

Founded in 2001 by Bob Ashley of ECO Publishing and Brian Potter of the Chicago Reptile House, NARBC was created to elevate the reptile show experience—for both vendors and attendees. With a strong focus on quality, education, and community, the show brings together world-class breeders and hobbyists to share their expertise and passion for reptiles.

While you’re here, don’t miss the USARK booth, where you can learn more about the legal issues facing the reptile community and how you can help protect reptile ownership through advocacy and education.

Come see what makes NARBC unlike any other reptile show—and maybe even leave with a new scaled friend!
