Helmeted iguana at the Goshen Reptile Expo, by Ginkgo's Exotics
A helmeted iguana was displayed by Ginkgo's Exotics at the Goshen Reptile Expo. The reptile’s distinct crest and calm temperament made it a standout among the animals shown at the event.
The Goshen Reptile Expo was lively and well attended, with a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, and exotic pets on display. One of the most interesting animals we saw was a helmeted iguana at the Ginkgo's Exotics booth.
The lizard had a tall, ridged crest and a pattern that made it look like a mix between a stick insect and a tiny dinosaur.
It rested calmly while its handler held it for visitors to see, showing off its unusual head shape and detailed scales. We chatted briefly with the owner, took a few photos, and continued exploring the other tables around the expo.
The event featured a range of vendors with snakes, lizards, frogs, and supplies for reptile keepers of all experience levels.
