North American Reptile Breeders Conference & Trade Show
Anaheim Convention Center

Show rules apply to everyone please review them carefully!

1. Absolutely NO venomous: NO rear-fanged: NO surgically altered: NO venomous animals of any kind. Anyone that has a venomous animal (including off table selling, the parking lot, hotel or show building) will be prosecuted - it’s
against the law to posses or sell venomous reptiles in California.

2. No wild caught reptiles. Captive bred or “quality” farm raised animals only. If we wouldn’t buy it, you won’t be allowed to sell it. You get the idea! This rule will be strictly enforced.

3. Vendor set-up will start Friday at 12:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and also on Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. until the show opens at 11:00 a.m. Saturday night vendors and personnel must be out of the Convention Center by 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

4. No crocodilians are legal for sale or ownership in California. Turtles under 4 inches will only be allowed for sale to individuals for bona fide scientific, educational or exhibition purposes. Other exceptions include limited sales between turtle fanciers. The intent of this rules is to keep small turtles out of the hands of young unsupervised children because of slight chance of salmonella bacteria transmission to kids. Vendors selling turtles are responsible to
ascertain the intent of the buyer and document it.

5. All animals must be kept in clean, suitable, secure and humane containers. Do not display inappropriate quantities of animals in one cage. We discourage keeping animals in the hotel rooms. Please arrange to keep animals in the
convention building only - no animals can be displayed or uncaged elsewhere.

6. Endangered species or other “permit animals” must not be sold or displayed without proper legal documentation from the seller and the buyer. Department of Fish & Game of California, Fish and Wildlife Service and other undercover personnel will likely be present.

7. Only paid Vendors/Dealers are allowed to sell or display animals during show hours at the Convention Center only. All animals must be sold by Vendors/Dealers only. Once a “sold” animal leaves the building, it cannot be brought back inside. A “hold for (with the buyer’s name note)” can be kept secure - behind the vendor’s table - if the buyer needs to leave the building temporarily. No sales or transactions can be conducted in the parking lots, from vehicles
at the hotels, restaurants, the hotel rooms and hotel lobbies.

8. Professional security will be provided Friday night until Saturday morning and Saturday night until Sunday morning. No one may enter during these times for any reason. The building will be locked and protected by armed security during the off show hours. There will be no other weapons of any kind allowed during the show hours, except for security personnel.

9. No mammals or birds allowed for sale with out prior show management authorization.

10. One Vendor name badge will be issued for each paid booth (no sharing or swapping of badges.). Vendors are entitled to purchase one additional badge per paid booth. Vendor passes are to be used by the registered vendor and
his associates/employees only. Only show personnel and registered vendors will be allowed in the hall during setup/ breakdown hours.

11. Vendors who are sharing tables or selling animals on consignment for friends are held responsible for animals placed on their tables. Know what you are selling, whether it’s yours or not! The vendor who rents the table is
held responsible for following all the show rules and California State Laws.

12. All items for sale must be reptile/amphibian related or products/services relating to the shows environmental goals.

13. All exhibitors are expected to act in a professional manner. Vendors and Attendees that act in an inappropriate behavior (angry outbursts, verbal threats or physical violence) will not be invited back the following year and may be
asked to exit the show immediately.

14. N.A.R.B. C. and Trade Show and the Anaheim Convention Center cannot be held responsible for damage, theft or injuries and they also reserve the right to expel anyone that is in violation of these rules. Since the show coordinator must deal with the possible misinterpretation of these rules or numerous unforeseen problems, the show coordinator reserves the right to remove any animal or exhibitor for any reason.

15. Californian native species, other than albinos, may only be sold by vendors with a valid California breeders permit.

16. Any new rules will be posted at day of set-up.

NOTE
An inspection by qualified professionals and other vendors will be conducted before and during the show.

Please take the captive-bred rule very seriously. It will be enforced. NARBC wishes to maintain a reputation for offering only high quality, healthy, captive bred animals. If it is not healthy do not bring it to the show!
