Mac Herps Show Suggestions

[grimbeny]

I think we could get rid of all the enclosures and have all the herps displayed on nude models.

 

[CodeRed]

I like it. Lets do the R Herp show and .......I deleted this, noty noty..........close

Seriously, the herp show is about getting people interested in herps and that starts with the mums and dads buying little Jonny his first bearded dragon. At our table (hugsta, glimerman and myself) we were mainly dealing with first timers and lots kids. All the animals I sold on the day were someones first reptile.

Have you thought of the quarantine and safety precautons involved with that? (I'm not talking about snakes and OPMV either)

 

[Tatelina]

This suggestion was put in by Sexslatina. Not much more you can expect from her. LOL

Who is this mysterious Sexslatina?

 

[nightowl]

Looks incredibly like Slateman dressed in drag?!? :lol:

 

[Slateman]

I think that mods should issue infraction to Sexslatina. She can be so bad this girl.

But back to the topic Peter started for good of next show.

Parents should control the kids more, that is important.
But to encourages families come for great entertainment value of the event is equally important. And I am sure that the ideas put in by all of us are red and taken in to consideration for next year. The board of Macarthur herp society is made of great people and they success and achievements are just reflection of that.

As I stated earlier - MOST kids were great, the pest kids started off as a general observation by a few and I guess it sort of got out of twisted a bit...

...I think that a 'hands on' element would be ideally great, however think it may be difficult to do without compromising the health/quarantine set up which was developed and put in place for a reason.

...It would definately be good to see a few more talks/demonstration type presentations...

 

[grimbeny]

Admitedly I was only there for an hour or two but i didnt see one kid misbehaving, and there was alot of people there at the time. So i think the inconvenience of having young people there was so minute.

 

[Tsidasa]

does anything like this occur in Perth WA, probably a stupid question as nothing ever occurs here but still =)

1 thing i was dissapointed in was the small amount of species for sale other then that great show guys, some nice reptiles there. I really liked the set up of some of the smaller monitors but they didnt look too happy about it.

 

[grimbeny]

Yea there wasnt a great variety in species, lots of the basic species, like beardies and variouse carpets etc.

 

[Aslan]

Suppose a lot comes down to what people have left over/hatching just prior to the show...Bigguy had a few different species for sale...

 

[Slateman]

It was a new thing for all of us, and I am surprised how well was this show organized.
Lot of people forgetting that all this was organized just by small Herp society.
I have to give big congratulation from my site to all volunteers and Macarthur herps committee.

You have an olive according to your profile. If you had brought yours along there would have been an olive there.

Just a thought.............

Sexlatina is slatey.
I can tell....he/she makes the same spelling mistakes......hehehe

 

[pugsly]

Sorry to burst the bubble, but getting an ATM there would be almost impossible, for several reasons including security, and definately cost. There was an ATM about 2km (if that) down the road though. Next year people will know I guess..

As for the rope and so on, my Amyae tub was opened by a child, only thanks to Pryor he is ok lol. But I didnt feel very comfortable about them for the rest of the day. So that can be worked on. But I mean this was a first real excellent attempt at a proper expo in NSW, and it was sensational. You can always make it better which is great but the show was a resounding success and I had a ball.

 

[Glimmerman]

No need to be sarcastic here.
As Peter started this thread under name....Mac Herps Show Suggestions and people are trying to give some ideas after all he asked us initially to do this in this topic.
Maybe you just try to make a joke, but I think that Slateman was serious and meant to help with his opinion like the other people who come with some suggestions as asked by Peter.

Well you certainly misinterpreted my post then didn't you. I was not making a joke at all.

The previous posts before mine were discussing way to keep children occupied. One suggestion was blue tongues and small animals like at the ARP. My comments reflected that. http://www.aussiepythons.com/showthread.php?t=49363&page=5 . If we had the kids to wash their hands we would be applying positive enforcement to general hygiene and keeping with the quarantine issues.

Damn Pryor! I almost got away with it!

 

[gillsy]

I disaggree with range of animals, there were every captive python species represented except for olive (which was purely by mistake as there was suppose to be someone bringing them.)

There was even a RSP and a GTP.

There were also alot of different monitor species.

Congratulations to Mac Herps for putting on such a great event. No doubt it took effort and time from the members and was very worthwhile. I would like to thank you all. Dave
