The reptile interaction and education areas provided chills and thrills to those daring enough to enter and interact with snakes, spiders, lizards and more.
What they're saying:
"We've got reptiles, we've got a huge bird area, we have a small animal area for the guinea pigs, for the rabbits and the rats and things like that too. So we try to have everybody covered. We have one vendor that's actually selling frog treats. So we got a little bit of you know of that covered as well, so we try to have a wide variety here because pets come in all shapes and sizes," said Holly Lewis, President of AWARE (Alliance of Wisconsin Animal Rehoming Efforts).
All proceeds from Pet Expo MKE stay in Wisconsin to help animals in shelters and rescues.
