FIRE IS BACK — AND BIGGER THAN EVER.The Florida International Reptile Expo (FIRE) was launched in Orlando in 2004 and quickly grew into one of Florida’s premier reptile expos. Over the years, FIRE welcomed reptile enthusiasts from across the state and beyond, with events hosted at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, and other major venues throughout central Florida.Following the 2020 event, FIRE went on temporary hiatus as the reptile expo industry recovered and rebuilt in the wake of COVID.Now, FIRE is back.Repticon is thrilled to announce the return of the Florida International Reptile Expo — for the first time ever in Tampa!The 18th Annual FIRExpo takes place November 7 & 8 at the Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds — the largest event facility available at the Fairgrounds.And we're not bringing FIRE back small.At nearly twice the size of Repticon Tampa, the 18th Annual FIRExpo will be the largest show Repticon has ever produced — bringing together an unprecedented collection of reptiles, breeders, vendors, supplies, and reptile enthusiasts for one massive weekend in Tampa.FIRE started in Florida more than two decades ago.
