Pittsburgh Epic Reptile Expo Sept. 6th & 7th VIP Vendor Deals List

Amanda

Alright, welcome back everyone to the Pittsburgh Reptile Show & Sale podcast. I'm Amanda, and—yep, you guessed it—today’s episode is all about the epic vendor VIP deals you can snag at this month’s show Special 36 year Anniversary Expo ONLY on September 6th & 7th at the Pittsburgh Mills Mall! Rick, are you ready for this?

Rick

Amanda, I've actually been counting down since last show. Some of these discounts are, like… almost too good? I mean, 50% off an entire table of animals, 25% off select snakes, free enclosures, boba tea with your drink—it’s almost unfair to my wallet.

Amanda

Ha! The struggle is real, Rick. And honestly, every time we do this vendor rundown, the hardest part for me is not pulling out my own wallet So, let’s break these deals down and try not to buy everything ourselves along the way, okay?

Rick

Deal. Let’s start with some heavy hitters. Tam-Dom Reptiles is offering 50% off all Animals on their tables, Rail Road City is offering 40% off all 2024 Ball pythons, World Wide Reptilia—25% off all snakes except indigos. That’s—look, if you’ve got your eye on a rainbow boa, ball python, or that dream kingsnake, this is your moment. That’s a pretty substantial chunk off, Amanda.

Amanda

It’s huge. And if you’re one of those folks who kind of waits for “the right time” to jump into snakes, this is what I’d call a nudge from the universe. Plus, there’s something to be said for buying from vendors at the show—hands-on, ask questions, see the animal, get those aftercare tips we always talk about. Remember Episode 4 with beginner ball python advice? This is what we meant—start with the right person, and the right price doesn’t hurt.

Rick

Right! And actually, those vendors are not the only ones giving you a crazy deal. Check out these 25% off deals... Dave's A&E Reptiles has 25% off any one animal. If you’re a one-and-done shopper or you want to snag, like, a real showpiece animal, that’s the one to target. Roach Ranch offering 25% off their tables.. gee if you need feeder roaches... this is your sign to stock up! And Hill Top Fur Babies—they’re mixing it up. It’s 25% off all reptiles, plus if you buy a snake, you get a month’s worth of feeders thrown in.

Amanda

Oh, that feeder deal’s no joke. If you ever underestimated how fast rodents disappear when you’ve got a collection… yeah, you learn quick! Actually, these are the kinds of vendors who also answer your “wait, what should I feed this tiny baby?” questions with actual experience, not just a printout taped to the table.

Rick

That’s kinda priceless, honestly. And you’ve got Hannah's Hissy Fix—she’s got 20% off taxidermy, and 30% off snakes. So, whether you like your critters slithery or, you know, preserved for the art wall, there’s a little something for everyone.

Amanda

Can we talk about the gecko crowd for a sec? Because there are deals all over the place. Wildfire Geckos—$20 off any gecko. That’s the same Wildfire Geckos that totally schooled us on leopard gecko care last episode. Reptizzle Geckos? 15% off. Secret Garden Geckos? 20% off crested geckos. H & H Exotics 10% off, Becks Geckos? 10% off all males and BOGO 25% off. If you’re into geckos, pull up that VIP pass right now.

Rick

I love that you get a little bit of everything. Even beginner families, right? Like, Family Beardies slashing 10% off. And then, Viper Enclosures—20% off on actual enclosures. That’s for anybody who’s tired of turning aquarium tanks into questionable “reptile homes.” I mean, guilty as charged back in college—but these are real reptile enclosures, folks.

Amanda

Oh, for sure. And for folks building out bioactives—frog Food Bioactive gives you a free gift with purchase. There’s Down To Earth Tech, 20% off, if you wanna tech up those tanks—think lights, thermostats, all the stuff that keeps living rooms heated and herps happy.

Rick

Lets not miss these deals too! Pick Your Poison Dart Frogs—Buy on Get one fruit flies, plus 10% off one animal. For the dart frog keepers, honestly, get two cultures. Those frogs eat ‘em like I drink my morning coffee.

Amanda

That takes me right back to chasing tiny frogs between show tables. Never again—grab your BOGO flies upfront, folks. On the fun side, Sugar Bliss giving out a free boba with drink purchases is a sweet deal. And for you accessory hunters, Priority Crystals has, what, $5 off every $25! Stock up for your reptile room… or your keychain, I won’t judge.

Rick

There are even deals you’d miss if you blink. Eight Hairy Legs—$15 slings with any purchase and a special bonus if your wearing one of their shirts too! That’s, like, less than half price for some tarantulas. And Rel's Reptiles—free enclosure with gecko purchase. I don’t know any starter gecko owners that wouldn’t appreciate that.

Amanda

Right? That’s the starter pack people always wish for. And hey, if you’re a quail or feeder egg person, Living Better Quail has 20% off too. I know that’s not everyone’s flavor, but for some of you, that’s a goldmine. Rick I know there were a bunch of 20% off VIP Discounts so many we can't keep talking in debth about each or we would be here ALL day! Can you list them off for me?!?

Rick

Sure! 20% off deals also include these vendors.. May Reptiles, Down to Earth Tech, and HBH Reptiles... Then tons of vendors are offering 10% off too... Like, The Nice Couple, Mike's Reptile Life, Apex Boas, Mains Morphs, Cold Brew Exotics, Hagerstown Scales & Tails, D & J Exotics with his Amazing Frogs!, Angry bald man reptiles, TMP Exotics, Scales n tails, Yinzotics , and last but not least Malam Exotics wih those totally cool Mantids and geckos, I stop by their table every month to just watch their love and care of these amazing creatures!

Amanda

Some offers are just… well, you gotta check at the table. Like Audra’s Awed Accessories, or the folks who leave it as a mystery, and Frog Food Bioactive with a free gift with purchase.. Honestly, those are fun—you never know if it’s a spin-the-wheel kind of day.

Rick

Plus check these deals out they just dont fit in anyother box... Jason Y with 15% off, Ace Exotics with 3 Custom Tumblers for only $60!

Amanda

And if you don’t see your favorite vendor mentioned, don’t panic, some of them come up with “day-of” deals that we, uh, don’t even know about until we’re walking the floor with you all. So, always ask. Sometimes a smile and a little bit of herper luck is all it takes to uncover an extra discount.

Amanda

Rick, what’s your pick for can’t-miss this month? If, uh, you could only hit one table with your VIP pass, where you going?

Rick

You know me, Amanda. If I say anything but “World Wide Reptilia snakes” that’s a lie and you know it. But honestly, I kind of want to check out the free enclosure—Rel’s Reptiles, that’s got my attention.

Amanda

Classic! For me, it’s a tie between gulping down free boba at Sugar Bliss and totally failing to resist Wildfire Geckos—again. No one’s surprised. But listen, friends: whatever your style, come early, grab your VIP perks, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or even haggle just a bit. That’s part of the fun, right?

Rick

Always, always ask. And hey, if you see Amanda or me wandering—we’re the ones with tired faces and clipboards—say hi, tell us what you scored, and you might just find us shopping the deals alongside you.

Amanda
