Our Show Sponsors
These 16 businesses keep NARBC on the calendar. Between them they make the feeders, caging, substrate and supplies most of the hobby runs on, and several of them will be on the floor at the show. If you buy from them, they keep sponsoring shows like this one.
Zoo Med
Founded by Gary Bagnall and based in San Luis Obispo, California, Zoo Med has been making reptile products for close to fifty years. In 1993 it introduced the first UVB lamp for reptiles, the ReptiSun, and the catalogue now runs past 1,200 items: lighting, heating, terrariums, substrates, foods and supplements. More than half of the line is manufactured in California, and the company keeps its own breeding collection of several hundred animals.

HabitatOS
HabitatOS is a care app for reptile and exotic animal keepers, on iPhone and Android. It tracks feeding, misting, weighing, cleaning and medication, and sorts the collection into what is on track, due soon and overdue. Wi-Fi sensors feed it live temperature and humidity and it alerts you when an enclosure drifts out of range. Every animal has a profile with photos, weight trends and care history, and a shareable Passport that can travel with the animal to its next keeper. Paid plans add rack management, QR labels and breeding records.
