Reptilienbörse Ulm

The Reptilienbörse is a specialized trade event focused on reptiles, amphibians, and all aspects of modern herpetoculture. Held twice a year at Messe Ulm – a contemporary venue in the heart of Baden-Württemberg – the fair attracts both professionals and families from across the German-speaking world, thanks to its central location and excellent transport connections. The event is organized by TerraristikEvent GmbH, an experienced provider of reptile-focused events with expertise in the professional planning and execution of trade fairs and exhibitions in this niche field.

More than just a marketplace, the Reptilienbörse serves as a central meeting point for animal enthusiasts, breeders, traders, and industry experts who are deeply involved in the care, keeping, and breeding of exotic species. At the heart of the event are live animals such as snakes, lizards, geckos, dart frogs, tarantulas, and tortoises. The fair also offers a wide range of feeder animals and specialist equipment – from lighting and heating systems to misting technology, as well as plants and substrates for habitats ranging from rainforest to desert.

A key focus of the fair is the responsible handling of animals and the dissemination of expert knowledge. Informational materials, specialist literature, and one-on-one advice from experienced breeders provide valuable guidance for beginners and seasoned keepers alike. Topics such as animal welfare and species-appropriate care are central to the event. A clearly defined code of conduct, mandatory documentation, and strict adherence to conservation regulations ensure transparency and credibility.

Exhibitors primarily come from the reptile industry, including specialized breeders, equipment manufacturers, publishing houses, and retailers. Visitors range from reptile enthusiasts and collectors to veterinarians, educators, families, and individuals exploring the hobby for the first time. Schools and educational institutions also regularly use the fair as an enriching field trip opportunity. As a result, the Reptile Fair has become a unique interface between science, hobby, and commerce, drawing attention well beyond the Ulm region.

Messe Ulm provides a bright, modern setting with an optimal infrastructure for both exhibitors and visitors. It is easily accessible by car via the A8 motorway, as well as by train or public transport. Ample parking is available. Anyone with an interest in the fascinating world of herpetoculture will find at the Reptilienbörse in Ulm not just animals and equipment, but a dedicated community united by knowledge, passion, and a strong sense of responsibility.
