Terraristika Hamm

13. December 2025 | Trade fair for terrarium animals and exotics

Since its founding in 1995, Terraristika has drawn reptile enthusiasts, breeders, and traders from around the world to the Zentralhallen in the city of Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia. Organized by the Veranstaltungsservice Joswig based in Recklinghausen, the expo has evolved into a key meeting point for anyone interested in exotic animals and their responsible care.

Four times a year, the Zentralhallen in Hamm transform into a vibrant hub for all things related to terrarium animals. Visitors are welcomed by an impressive diversity of species – from lizards, amphibians, and snakes to spiders, scorpions, insects, and exotic small mammals. A specially secured area, known as the “venomous animal room,” reflects the event’s high safety and quality standards. For safety reasons, the trade of highly venomous snakes is strictly prohibited.

However, Terraristika is much more than just a marketplace. It serves as a comprehensive platform for information, expert advice, and exchange. Reptile keepers, dedicated breeders, biologists, traders, and curious newcomers come together to learn about animal care, feeding, breeding techniques, and habitat requirements. In addition to live animals, a wide range of high-quality equipment is on offer – from terrariums and lighting systems to feed, plants, and specialized literature. Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of sectors, including pet supply retailers, breeding facilities, technical specialists, and publishers.

Today, Terraristika stands as a flagship event for the city of Hamm and enjoys a reputation that extends far beyond the region. Each edition attracts thousands of visitors – from seasoned herpetologists to families looking for a unique day out.

The Zentralhallen provide ideal conditions for the event: spacious exhibition areas, a central location within North Rhine-Westphalia, free on-site parking, and easy access by car or train.

The Terraristika will take place on Saturday, 13. December 2025 in Hamm.
