Just got home, was good to see alot of lizards and not just a snake fest.
There were some good discounts. I got this - $319.40 marked down to $80:shock:
And this - $87.10 marked down to $45:shock:
And some stubbie coolers and heaps of business cards
Forgot to take pics sorry.

No way a Shingle Back for $45. That's a steal.

Edit: ah yes now I see why.

Just got back from the show and would have to say it was an excellent day.
Caught up with a few mates and met a few more APS members.
Very professionally setup and run with great displays by shops and private keepers alike and heaps of people in attendance. Hats off to the organisers. A few pics for those that couldn't make it. Hopefully this turns into an annual event and justs gets bigger and bigger.

 

[yommy]

couple nice greens and hypo bredli

 

[yommy]

some for the lizard lovers + croc, couldn't get good shots through the cages for the monitors. Others should have shots of those.

 

[yommy]

And finally a few more pythons + an adder. I am sure there will be some better pics posted by others later today.
A great day, the only thing that could of made it better is a policy change by EPA to allow private breeders to sell on the day.
But you never know into the future as the popularity is growing, the governing body (EPA) needs to grow and evolve with it too. Looking good though.
