A large reptile exhibition “World of Dinosaurs” will attract the attention of visitors to the Zooshow. Autumn 2023” exhibition on 2–3 September at EXPOFORUM. You can be photographed with pet reptiles, and their owners will share the secrets of raising and keeping exotic animals.

A three-year-old python Loki and a four-year-old boa constrictor Pirate have been familiar to Zooshow visitors since birth. They are annual attendees of the event, favorites of the public and the first choice for photoshoots. This year, the cold-blooded company is diversified by grass snakes, whip snakes, scorpions, giant cockroaches, eublefara lizards, crested geckos and bearded dragon lizards.

Giant Achatina land snails will also be of interest. They have proven to be excellent pets due to their cute appearance, unpretentiousness in keeping and hypoallergenic nature. Snails take up little space and fit in the palm of your hand. In the mouth of these animals there are approximately 25 thousand teeth, which are invisible to the human eye and represent a kind of a grater, designed to grind food. But Achatinas are actually safe, and in some ways even useful to humans. Cosmetologists have long ago adopted snail mucin and use it on an industrial scale in cosmetic products and procedures.

A snail lives for an average of 5–8 years in an aquarium and prefers an unpretentious diet of vegetables, fruit, and calcium, which it needs for shell growth.

Decorative African dwarf hedgehogs annually enchant visitors of the Zooshow with their cuteness, tidiness and absence of aggression. If they’re not sleeping, they’re eating. But they eat little, their main food being insects, lean meat, vegetables and fruit. They live about 7–8 years.

You can learn more interesting facts about reptiles at the lectures and workshops that breeders will deliver at the Zooshow!
