Qld Reptile Expo update-Simon Stone

[Hawk]

I would also like to thank Simon and the other organisers for an excellent day. It was great to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. The displays were great and the selection of reptiles and the quality of those animals are a credit to there owners. I would also like to congratulate Ian & Paula Davidson, Premier Pythons and the other exhibitors who picked up awards on the day. We were very pleased ( and humbled ) to receive Exhibitors Choice Award for best Black Headed Python, Woma, Spotted Python and Childrens Python.
Thanks again to everyone who made the expo such a great day and I for one can't wait for the next one.

Thanks to all who came, we're glad you enjoyed yourselves. It was great to meet the few of you from this site who came and introduced themselves - as I was tucked away in the back room and rushed off my feet I missed a few it seems. I did get to meet Fuscus, inthegrass, Hawke, ian_davo and pseudechis4740.

Samuel (the big carpet) is 9 foot 4 inches and I really don't want to know how many kilos. He's also now a shadow of the snake he used to be. In fact his girth was about twice what it was. I think he's 16 or 17. He lacks all muscle tone and has little strength and is getting progressively weaker.

I didn't get the chance to take many pictures unfortunately, but Slimebo, Mrs Slimebo and Mrs Slimebo's mum all did so we should see some more posted in the Expo photo thread Slimebo has created shortly.

Well a huge congrats to the organizers on a fantastic expo. We had a great time & the quality of the animals on display was well worth the drive. We will definately be making this an annual event for our family & can't wait for next year. I took quite a few pics which I will post up later but had to quickly put this pic up of my daughter Ruby holding Samuel the massive carpet python, this is one way to make a huge snake look even bigger:lol:
