TERRA-REP Heinsdorfergrund

TERRA-REP is a specialized reptile exhibition that has been held since 2019 at the sports hall in Heinsdorfergrund, located in the Vogtland region of Germany. Since its inception, it has established itself as a key meeting point for reptile and terrarium enthusiasts. The name "TERRA-REP" stands for “Terraristics Reptile Expo” and clearly reflects the event’s focus: the keeping, care, and breeding of reptiles and other terrarium animals take center stage. Four times a year, a diverse community of professional dealers, breeders, hobbyists, and curious visitors gathers here.

The event is organized by Behr Reptilien, a company renowned for its commitment to responsible animal care, extensive expertise, and dedication to the preservation of biodiversity.

In terms of content, TERRA-REP sets benchmarks in its field. The expo covers essential topics in terraristics, including the husbandry of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, as well as breeding practices, conservation issues, and the sale and exchange of terrariums, accessories, feeder animals, live plants, and specialized literature. The range of animals on offer is broad yet highly specialized – from snakes, lizards, and turtles to frogs and tarantulas. The exhibition is complemented by modern technology for terrarium lighting and climate control, appealing to both beginners and experienced keepers.

A defining feature of TERRA-REP is its hands-on approach to knowledge sharing. Visitors receive expert advice on species-appropriate care, nutrition, and animal welfare directly at the event. Interaction with specialists is a central element of the concept and is further enriched by expert talks and live demonstrations. Topics such as responsible handling of exotic animals and the promotion of captive breeding are also key components.

Exhibitors come from a wide range of backgrounds – including breeders, pet trade retailers, specialist publishers, terrarium technology providers, and organizations focused on conservation and environmental education. The expo attracts reptile enthusiasts of all ages: dedicated hobbyists, families, professionals, and educational institutions alike.

The sports hall in Heinsdorfergrund, near the town of Reichenbach, offers ideal conditions for the event: accessible facilities, spacious exhibition areas, and ample on-site parking. Excellent transport connections ensure easy travel – whether from the surrounding region or from across Germany.

More than just a marketplace, TERRA-REP positions itself as a platform for exchange, education, and responsible action – for everyone who shares a genuine passion for terraristics.

The TERRA-REP will take place on Sunday, 07. September 2025 in Heinsdorfergrund.
