HANDS-ON

TERRARIUM BUILDING WORKSHOPS

Our Terrarium Building Workshops are perfect for first-time reptile owners and anyone interested in learning how to build a safe, healthy, and visually engaging habitat. While the workshop focuses on constructing a terrarium, it is designed to become a fully functional vivarium once a live reptile is introduced at home.

Led by LLLReptile and Supply Co., each workshop offers hands-on instruction from knowledgeable staff, with all materials and supplies included in the purchase price. Participants will leave with a professionally built enclosure and the confidence to complete their setup when they add their pet. Terrarium Use & Species Guide

Advanced Ticket Purchase Required

Space is extremely limited to six participants per day to ensure an intimate, hands-on experience. Reservations can be made through the ticket page for our upcoming expos. Each reservation includes one spot and one complete terrarium kit, with direct, hands-on instruction from an expert. Additional enclosures may be added by purchasing additional reservations.
