2012 Castle Hill Reptile Expo

[petpages]

Hi guys, as one of the reptile expo organizers I just wanted to post a thread here so you can ask me any questions you may have.
The expo will be held on Sunday 12th February at the Basketball Stadium at Castle Hill. Same place as as last year.
Please check out our facebook page on Castle Hill Reptile Expo | Facebook
There will be lots of breeders there and heaps of reptiles for sale and all the big retailers will be there as well.
We will also be having venomous reptile demonstrations and Bill Love will be presenting on reptile photography.
For those of you who don't know Bill, he is a household name in reptile circles in the USA. Having founded Glades herp
in Florida - one of the largest reptile dealerships in the world, Bill has been writing for 'reptiles magazine for 17 years
and makes a living photographing reptiles. You can catch Bills presentations during the day at 11am and again at 130pm
(times to be confirmed)
The door prize will be one hatchling native Australian green tree python bred by Adrian Hemens so good luck !
There is a canteen onsite stocked with plenty of food so you won't go hungry !
Entry is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 16. A family pass is $25 for 2 adults and two kids.
For more info please visit Australian reptiles for sale, licences, clubs, breeders and reptile expo

Wow, sounds like its going to be an awesome day!!
Just curious what happens if you win the door prize but dont qualify for an advanced licence?

 

[nervous]

do children under a certain age get in for free? i.e 2yrs or 3yrs etc...

i think there is a mistake with the date i thought it was the 12th of feb as the 13th is a monday

 

[petpages]

yes, sorry dopey me ! it is Sunday 12th Feb. not 13 Feb

i think there is a mistake with the date i thought it was the 12th of feb as the 13th is a monday

I'm glad you asked that question Ben. In such circumstances the animal would be put onto a friend or parents license until such time as the winner can get a class 2 license themselves or transfer of the animal could be delayed until the winner has a class 2 license. It is even possible that the animal could be sold and the proceeds go to the winner.

hi. are you able to tell us what sort of reps may be for sale?
im wondering if i should make the trip

 

[petpages]

So far we have most of the big breeders committed to coming so there should be a pretty good variety of herps for sale.

Miss2, my missus and I picked up some more frogs last weekend from a local breeder. She also had baby brearded dragons that she was keeping to sell at the show.... cute little things.

But in saying that, I'm sure there will be plenty of beardie breeders there to choose out of.

 

[miss2]

[Sutto82]
