Terrabörsen Hamburg

Terrabörsen, a well-established series of trade fairs for herpetology, is an annual event dedicated to reptiles, amphibians, and related accessories. Held at the "Eisland Farmsen" ice sports arena in Hamburg, it is one of the most important gatherings of its kind in Germany. Organized by the experienced SoHo GbR, the fair has become a key platform for reptile enthusiasts, breeders, and newcomers alike. The term "Terrabörsen" refers not only to the Hamburg event but also to a nationwide series of specialist fairs regularly hosted in cities such as Bremen, Neumünster, Wörth am Rhein, and Rendsburg.

Once a year, the modern Eisland Farmsen venue becomes the hub of the herpetology scene. More than just a marketplace, the fair offers a vibrant space for exchange, specialist trade, and personal interaction. Visitors can expect a wide selection of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates such as spiders and insects, alongside an extensive range of terrariums, equipment, decorations, specialist literature, and live or frozen feeder animals.

A strong emphasis is placed on animal welfare and species-appropriate husbandry. Compliance with animal protection regulations is a matter of course for organizers, exhibitors, and breeders, and it fundamentally shapes the character of the event. Terrabörsen Hamburg sets clear standards for the responsible handling of animals.

With its strong regional focus, the fair enriches Hamburg’s diverse event calendar and strengthens the northern German herpetology community. Knowledgeable exhibitors – from seasoned breeders to specialized suppliers – bring expertise and high-quality products. Participating businesses include those from animal breeding, specialist retail, biology, and animal care. The audience is equally diverse: private reptile keepers, professional breeders and traders, as well as educators and professionals from schools, zoos, and wildlife parks all use the event as a platform for networking and information exchange.

As part of a national event series, Terrabörsen Hamburg is a fixed date in the calendars of reptile fans far beyond the North. The venue is easily accessible by both public transport and car, with plenty of free parking available. All the conditions are in place for an informative and enjoyable trade fair visit.
