Past Events
Reptile Expos (Schaumberg, Scaled Up, Etc.)
Date:
June 8, 2026
Location:
Various
Event Description
Reptile expos bring together enthusiasts, hobbyists, breeders, educators, artists, and vendors who share a passion for the natural world. While reptiles are often the main attraction, many expos also feature invertebrates, amphibians, bioactive enclosure supplies, feeder insects, educational organizations, artwork, plants, and other nature-inspired products.
Visit Glasshouse Alchemy
Returning Scaled Up Expo attendees may recognize the founder and owner of Glasshouse Alchemy from previous events under the business name The Quirky Soul.
Over the years, The Quirky Soul focused on educational products, nature-inspired gifts, artwork, and other specialty items designed to encourage curiosity about the natural world. As a longtime plant enthusiast, growing interest in propagation, tissue culture, carnivorous plants, and collector botanicals eventually led to the creation of Glasshouse Alchemy.
While Glasshouse Alchemy is now dedicated primarily to plants, propagation, and botanical education, visitors may still occasionally find select nature-inspired gifts, décor, artwork, jewelry, and educational items alongside our plant offerings.
Glasshouse Alchemy represents the next chapter in that journey—combining science, cultivation, education, and a passion for the weird, wonderful, and hard-to-find.
Booth Highlights
Prior to the launch of Glasshouse Alchemy, the founder and owner regularly attended reptile expos under the business name The Quirky Soul.
Over the years, booth offerings have included a variety of reptiles, as well as educational products, nature-inspired artwork, books, games, gifts, home décor, jewelry, collector items, and educational resources.
Today, Glasshouse Alchemy continues that commitment to education and curiosity while expanding into plant propagation, tissue culture, carnivorous plants, tropical houseplants, and collector botanicals. Visitors may still occasionally find select educational materials, botanical artwork, jewelry, home décor, and other nature-inspired items alongside our plant offerings.
