Fairbanks Welcomes ScaleFEST 2026
Welcome to ScaleFEST 2026, the premier event for reptile and exotic enthusiasts in Fairbanks! Last year was a huge hit and we hope this year will be just as good! We hope you will join us for a day of reptile and exotic animal encounters with a variety of vendors not normally found in in the Interior.

AKHamlet Books is quite possibly the northernmost specialty retailer of books regarding herps and other exotics.
AK Spood and Company is all about the joy of jumping spiders — tiny faces, big personalities, and endless curiosity! We raise our spiders with hands-on care, healthy diets, clean environments, and the kind of attention that makes every spood confident and ready for their new adventure.
We’re also known for our hand-made, thoughtfully designed enclosures. Each one is created to feel like a natural home for jumpers — full of cozy hides, natural textures, perfect anchor points for hammocks, and just the right amount of climbing room. Whether you love cute themes or realistic setups, every enclosure is built with one goal: a comfortable, enriching space where your spood can truly thrive.
At our booth, you’ll find:
• Beautiful Phidippus jumpers raised with love
• Natural-style and themed enclosures
• Hides, accessories, décor, and supplies made specifically for spoods
• Beginner-friendly guidance and support (because everyone starts somewhere!)
We make the world of jumping spiders fun, welcoming, and totally addictive — in the best way. Come meet our spiders, explore our setups, and see why so many people say, “Okay… I didn’t expect to fall in love, but here we are.”
Stop by and jump into the fun with us!

Plus, we’re excited to showcase a variety of Mantises! Join us for a fun, engaging & interactive experience!
I’m a self-taught artist based in Palmer, Alaska, whose work primarily showcases the beauty and spirit of wildlife. Specializing in watercolor and acrylic, I share stories and highlight misunderstood animals inspiring viewers to see them and the world through a different lens. My perspective on nature and life cycles deeply influences my creative process.
