Terrabörsen Bremen

Terrabörsen is a specialized trade fair dedicated to terraristics, reptiles, and amphibians, held once a year on the spacious grounds of Messe Bremen & ÖVB Arena. As a central meeting point for reptile enthusiasts, breeders, and industry professionals from across the German-speaking region, it combines expert knowledge, passion, and commerce surrounding the responsible care and keeping of terrarium animals.

The event is organized by the experienced SoHo GbR, which has been running a nationwide network of terraristic fairs in Germany for many years. In addition to Bremen, cities such as Hamburg, Neumünster, Rendsburg, and Wörth am Rhein are also regular venues. However, the Bremen event has emerged as one of the most prominent locations in the series – both in terms of size and thematic scope.

At the heart of the fair are the exhibition and sale of reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and small mammals. This is complemented by a wide selection of feeder animals, insects, and high-quality terrarium accessories such as lighting systems, heating technology, substrates, and decorative elements. Publishers and information providers enrich the event with specialist literature, care guidelines, and in-depth knowledge on species, husbandry requirements, and legal regulations. Particular emphasis is placed on species conservation and responsible breeding, topics that are equally important to seasoned breeders and newcomers alike.

A defining characteristic of Terrabörsen is its unique combination of specialist trade, information platform, and community event. Legal aspects of animal keeping – especially CITES regulations and the specific fair guidelines – are communicated transparently and form an integral part of the event. In this way, Terrabörsen offers not only a secure marketplace, but also a forum for education and dialogue within the community.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of breeding, animal trade, terrarium technology, and publishing. Visitors range from private terrarium keepers and aspiring breeders to veterinarians, educators, and conservation organizations. For many, Terrabörsen is a must-attend event to discover new trends, encounter rare species, and connect with like-minded individuals.

The venue – Messe Bremen, located just a short walk from the central train station – offers ideal conditions: modern exhibition halls, excellent public transport links, and ample parking for visitors from across Germany and neighboring countries.

Whether you're passionate about reptiles, looking to enter the world of terraristics, or seeking to deepen your expertise, Terrabörsen offers more than just animals and equipment – it’s a vibrant community and a trusted source of information, all in one place.

The Terrabörsen will take place on Sunday, 27. September 2026 in Bremen.
