If your interest in pets and animals ranges towards the exotic, for example, lizards, snakes, and turtles. You don't want to miss an event this weekend at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia.

Show Me Reptiles is bringing its reptile show to the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia this weekend. The show will feature reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, plants, aquatics, and supplies. It's part educational and commerce; for example, you could go home with a new pet or discover a new place to get your pet's food. It's also an opportunity to learn about reptiles and for those who keep them as pets to connect.

On their Facebook post, they describe the Sedalia event like this:

"Explore dozens of amazing breeders showcasing reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, plants, aquatics, and so much more. Find all the supplies you need to keep your critters healthy and happy while connecting with a welcoming community of reptile lovers."
