In addition to the well-known reptile show in Hamm, important reptile shows are also held in other countries. One of these is the Verona Repriles Show in Italy, which attracts an incredible number of visitors every time. What often remains hidden from visitors is the great work that goes on behind such an event. In the following article, we would like to take a look behind the scenes of the Verona Reptiles Show and take a closer look at both the initial idea and the organization, as well as its own magazine ”IL Terrarista”. To do this, we spoke to Ilaria Auletta, who gave us in-depth information about Verona Reptiles.

There are only 5 days till the next show! https://www.veronareptiles.it/en

Read more in the article "A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF
THE VERONA REPTILES SHOW" in Issue #14 of Responsible Herpetoculture Journal, which is available at the Hobbyist's level of subscription:
