The staff here were very friendly and extremely helpful, throughout the two times that we've been here. They let us look at and hold a couple snakes out in the main area. While also letting looking and hold the samkes in the breeding area, and the other back area with the larger snakes and reptiles. On both occasion we were able able to see, hold and learn about at least a half dozen different ball Pythons and Boas; many of which I had never heard or or seen before. Overal: A great experience provided by the staff who are very knowledgeable as well.

The worker I spoke with was very helpful and knowledgeable and gave me a lot of advice. I heavily recommend going here to handle the snakes if you're into that sorta thing.

I was really nervous at first to handle my snake but after going to gx3 reptiles I went home and picked up my snake for the first time and it was so awesome, Im very grateful I can connect better with my snake.

We wanted to make sure we were choosing the right animal for our needs and the staff was very patient in taking out all the different animals we were interested in meeting before we made our final choice.

We spent a couple of hours perusing through the exhibits on a Sunday. There is a lot to look at and…read moreif you're a kid, or a reptile enthusiast, there is a lot to get excited over. You have an assortment of diff reptiles, from monitors, to snakes, to iguanas, to geckos, etc. that you can choose to observe, pet, hold, or even buy. If you decide to buy anything, you also have all the items available to set up a tank for the first time or just stock up on some supplies if you already have an existing set up. The prices here were very competitive, there were exhibit deals happening all around. If you do want to hold a snake, or even take a picture with it, it will cost you at least $5 a round, so that was a bit costly.

What a fun event... even for a bunny lover like me, knowing that reptiles are probably my rabbits'…read moreworst enemy... the snakes would eat them, and the tortoise would outsmart them in a race, lol. Reptile Realms (aka the San Jose Reptile Show), for the last two years has been unable to hold the event at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds (as they did annually pre-covid). So they expanded to holding the expo at the San Mateo County Event Center for 2022. Basically there are LOTS of reptile displays, with most of the creatures for sale, and all of them for show. We found mostly snakes, all kinds of sizes, some with very unique patterns, vendors willing to share plenty of knowledge and info about the species, and even some snakes visitors could hold (for free). Besides snakes, there were roaches, crickets, tarantulas, shaved mice, lizards, geckos, chameleons, bearded dragons, tortoises, and some species I can't even name. I realize not all were reptiles, but there was also reptile "food" for sale, and other creatures. And you could get up close and personal with these animals, it was so cool. They also sold clever animal T-shirts and hats, toys (lots of snake themed, but also random stuff like unicorn horns), habitats, plants, and food (for reptiles and for humans). The event took place mainly in a giant hall, so it felt spacious even with the crowds. There were no lines and no wait to enter. And there was plenty of parking (with a $15 fee which was more expensive than the admissions ticket). Some of the reptiles are just sooo cute, especially those baby tortoises, this is a great place to find a new pet. But not for me... my bunnies wouldn't like that.

Freddie handled the booking over the phone, no reservation needed at $10 a day. Check-in took five minutes; they set her up in a great, spacious tank with a lamp and fresh bark, and we left her with a packed lunch of greens and Mazuri from home. When we picked her up, Brandon and Ryan gave us the daily report. Turns out, Smalls spent her vacation roaming the store and occasionally trying to bust out through the back door. Luckily, the staff has excellent reflexes and stopped her escape attempts. Smalls was well-loved, well-fed, and safely contained. 10/10 would board our tiny criminal here again. Thank you, Reptile Room!

It was a friendly crowd, and we got to hold some of these fascinating reptiles after signing a waiver and making a donation or paying a small fee. We also supported some of the reptile rescue organizations by buying merchandise, plus shopped for gifts at the vendor booths. Entry tickets were $15 each. Parking was also $15 (though we had the missus drop us and pick us up). There was food available - we shared super nachos ($15 again!), which were filling and delicious. Bathrooms were well maintained, and there was hand sanitizer everywhere! Will be back next year!
