Attending the Sacramento Reptile Show! (September 2024)

We had an unfortunate start to our trip to Sacramento to attend the Sac Reptile Show (which was no fault of the show itself!), but we made the best out of the situation and still had a fun time meeting everyone and checking out an awesome reptile show!!

Advice from a former hotel front desk clerk: Park under the lights and take everything in the hotel with you. Hotel parking lots get targeted.

So, Snake Discovery fans, if you seen someone selling all that merchandise in CA, you KNOW they're probably the ones who took all that
Just get their merchandise on their website!

[Devil.]

Aww Riley giving them a little snake and saying "too late" probably made their whole weekend so much better. I hope they could focus on the positives as much as possible!

The carpet's name - my immediate thought was "Hard wood" types of floor XD

[TheScottronica]

Imagine stealing 2 suit cases full of stuff, get it to the house, open it up...and it's a bunch of esoteric Snake Discovery stuff. LOL.
I love the sign up idea. It really will help out the rest of the vendors also since customers won't have to stand in line for several hours.
Finally, shout out Phil! The unsung hero of shows.

Since there r only 25 medallion limited editions left, i think people should keep an eye out if someone is selling these online in bulk and reported for the theft. Send any links of postings selling these medallions to Emily and Ed

Wish I could give you guys a hug. When you got to the stolen snakes my heart was just so hurt. I wanted to tell you it was ok NOT to be ok, but you kept it upbeat and positive, I'm sure it was challenging to move forward and I am proud of you guys. And when Riley gifted you the snake it was like a happy ending. I pray the rescues are ok.

This is unfortunate but imagine how mad that robber was when he opened the suitcase expecting money or something expensive and he just gets pizza cutters and fidget cubes XD

[YochevedDesigns]

Oh no. This is the saddest I've seen you guys since your shop got broken into. I just want to hug you both. I really respect your ability to look on the plus side and recover as much as you can.

Riley’s voice has a ton of love, gentleness and passion! And so happy to see Phil’s smile with the present 🎁 It’s so sad that some people stole merch and animals, but because of those big smiles I could enjoy this video!

[Lulexiaa]

This show seemed cursed😭. The constant things getting stolen hurt my heart. Props to Emily and Ed for still having smiles on their face and a positive attitude because I dont think I could ever!!

[Bethlam]

Hope naming your new snake “Lemonade” because the end color reminds me of lemonade ALSO, when life hands you lemons you make lemonade. With everything that went wrong you still got the cutest little snake.

My apartment was robbed a few years ago and even though I don't live in that apartment anymore, it really impacts me to this day. The stress of worrying about my house, wondering if there's anything I did wrong that made my apartment a target, the lack of help from the police all still cause me to worry pretty much any time I leave my house. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys :(

[shadlyn]

Thank you to Riley! He may not have known it when he gifted them that BEAUTIFUL snake, but that is such a great kindness after a weekend where they were hit with so much of the worst humans have to offer. Thank you, Riley!

I help run a couple conventions and theft off tables is becoming quite the problem. We encourage every vendor now to look into investing in security cameras for their booth. Just make sure that you have a sign warning that the booth has a surveillance cameras. It may not help in the moment but it does help later if someone is caught. Most events have night security but having the cameras there running overnight also helps just in case something happens overnight.

Glad you guys were able to make it through the weekend and have a good time in spite of the issues. I am sure everyone had a blast meeting you.

[isabellstrandberg]

Aww the baby snake did a fast strike attack to then a fast apologin kiss on the same spot. Sooo freacking adorable<3

[aliyyahcoe]

Emily and ed are so sweet and seem like genuinely good people that dont deserve such nonsense to happen to them. whomever stole from them i hope your pillow is always warm, your soup is always cold and you bread is always moldy

[thereadingnook]

22:50 fan mail for PHIL! That needs to be a thing! He works so hard and hes shy!

[renskedegroot]

The gift from Riley actually made me tear up that was so sweet!

[UsagiZakura]

My home city has warnings around any parking lot to empty your car before thieves do it.

Nice of the rental company to give you not only a new car but a free Phil!

The meet and greet worked great for us! We were the second group (10AM) on day one and only waited 20 minutes. Our 5 year old was excited to meet you (and so was the rest of the family!). We love snake discovery. I am so sorry for the stealing of merch and snakes. :(
I wanted to tell you our kids play meet and greet as a game now. Its adorbs.
