As a vendor you are accountable for every transaction that you make. Please make sure that your animals are healthy and that the purchaser is educated and old enough to acquire such a pet. The buyer needs to be sure that their municipality allows such ownership and you should inform them of this before their purchase. Bad business deals reflect on the reptile expo industry as a whole and it is within every vendor’s best interest to have the utmost integrity in their dealings to insure the preservation of the reptile community/industry.

The Western Pennsylvania Reptile Expo is a family oriented expo and vendors are to refrain from conduct that would not be acceptable in public places of business. .
