What a fantastic effort by Troy et al! Couldn't have asked for more for an inaugural expo, my only disappointment was with myself for not putting more effort into helping a frazzled looking Troy with this event! Next year mate, I'm all yours!

I got a call on my way home, that I won, of all things, a reptile enclosure! Quite a nice one I hear, how cool!

i just got home to brisbane.

i was so impressed by this today. much better then i assumed it would be. didn't win anything, but still watched the raffle (people writing their names and mobile numbers on tickets might help next year ). had a good chat with a few people, got to meet baden, and have a chat with him about enclosures etc.

i can see this getting bigger and bigger, as it was very popular straight away. having a DERM area was a nice touch, and the crocodiles and birds being held by kids (and me) were a great touch. the venomous snake show was perfect too.

i'm looking forward to next year.

It was a great day, i picked up some new het Bubs from Simon (slimebo) and saw some BEAUTIFUL vens and other herps (i especially love the hatchy death adders, and the blue-belly black) Simon's albino's were AMAZING.

picked up some heat globes REALLY cheap ($8) as well as some heat rock/cave type thingo's

if i can do anything to help organise an expo next year, please tell me as today was AWESOME !!!

Awesome time,
Saw some great enclosures. Loved the water monitor trio spent like 20 minutes just watching them.
There was a lot more monitors there then I thought there would be.
The Perentie was a treat, so was seeing the puppy dog lacy, I am now considering a lacy I want the challenge.

Didnt actually buy anything but I did get some contacts so that was good.
As I walked out this afternoon there was still a long line at 12 30 so hopefully that means this was really successful and will happen next year and the next year after that.

I travelled down from brisband, with my 21mo son... he LOVED the owl, and the spencers monitor, but other than that, he was unimpressed that he was not big enough for the jumping castles...lol oh well... such wonderful displays, and oh I WISHED I could have stayed and tried my luck at the raffle, but alas was not to be... Also wish I had of brought more money with me...

 

[TahneeMaree]
