Q:Who is responsible for animals and products sold at the show?

All animals and products offered for sale at the Saratoga Reptile Show are sold by independent individuals and businesses exhibiting at each show and not by Saratoga Reptile Show LLC. Guests are responsible for researching and evaluating any animal or product before purchasing and for providing proper care after purchase. Guests should identify the exhibitor they are purchasing from and request contact information and a receipt for every purchase for future reference.

Any questions, concerns, or disputes must be handled directly between the guest and the exhibitor who made the sale.
