Billed as the largest Educational herp show in North America.

The Chicago Herp Society's anual event is a NON SELLING show. No animals are sold there. This event is a fun and Educational even for the whole family. Last count 290 Different species will be displayed. Including almost ALL of the native Mid west Herps. All proceeds go Directly towards conservation efforts for the Eastern Massasauga research, and the Utilla Island Spiny tailed Iguana, that up until about 15 yrs ago was thought to be extinct.
Another CHS Success story project. We relocate 56 yes I said 56 Alligators and caimen to the St Augustine Alligator Sanctuary. This not only called for driving down a load of gators. But Blood work had to be done on EACH animal. Also mind you these were ALL rescue and confiscated animals, that were provided care for until they could be found an apropriate home. One of our members Bob B. kept the majority of them At his HOME, and cared for them, and made arrangements to have them transported to FL.
Mind you ALL of these animals could have been put down. Granted this was not cheap. just a note to how dedicated CHS is to conservation of Herps.
Also My B-day is in April So you can drop off gifts there too. Gift bags with knots in them get special priority.
