Welcome to the Fargo Exotic Pet Expo!

Countdown

The Fargo Exotic Pet Expo (Formerly Red River Reef and Reptile Expo) is Fargo/Moorhead's leading vendor based show for exotic reef, reptile and exotic pet hobbies. The expo started in January 2013 as the Fargo Frag Swap which was a successful first run at a Reef based event in Fargo, ND. We received great comments from both attendees and vendors and were even featured on two of the local news stations in the first year. The event evolved through cooperation with local reptile enthusiasts to form the Red River Reef and Reptile Expo which was first held in October 2014 and continues to 2016. We have had an amazing list of vendors and increasing turnout for attendees as we add more to the event. In 2016 additional exotics were added which included both exotic birds and small animals. We hope to see the event grow into the future and add new and exciting products, livestock and educational content to the area.

Please be sure to show your support of our wonderful vendors and sponsors at their stores or their websites. Without their support this event would not be able to bring all these amazing and exotic animals to the area.
