Pittsburgh Mega Reptile Expo 5th Anniversary Bash Featuring TV Star Dusty Crum

🐍 PITTSBURGH MEGA REPTILE EXPO — 5TH ANNIVERSARY BASH! 🐍

The Pittsburgh Mega Reptile Expo is celebrating 5 YEARS with a huge anniversary weekend September 12–13 at the Monroeville Convention Center!

⭐ SPECIAL CELEBRITY GUEST: DUSTY “THE WILDMAN” CRUM

Meet the nationally known Everglades python hunter and television personality from Discovery Channel’s Guardians of the Glades.

Dusty will give one special presentation Saturday and one Sunday about the invasive Burmese python crisis in the Florida Everglades, what he has witnessed firsthand, the impact invasive species can have on native wildlife, and why responsible exotic animal ownership matters.

⚜️ SCOUTS & SCOUT LEADERS ATTEND FREE!

Scouts and Scout leaders from ALL Scouting organizations receive FREE admission when attending in uniform.

We’ve created a special educational experience for participating Scouts, including:

• Dusty Crum’s Everglades python presentation
• A show-wide Discovery Challenge covering reptiles, amphibians, ecosystems, conservation, animal care and invasive species
• A custom commemorative scouting-style Pittsburgh Mega Reptile Expo patch for participating Scouts, while supplies last
• 10 FREE prize-drawing tickets for every participating Scout
• Special prize drawings three times each day

Scout leaders: Please let us know if you're planning to bring your Scouts so we can prepare enough patches, educational materials and giveaways.

The Pittsburgh Mega Reptile Expo is a privately operated event and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any Scouting organization.

🦎 AND THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR OTHER KIDS TOO!
