The Australian Frog & Reptile Show.

[Ramsayi]

Hey Zulu, I kept my eye out for a zulu nametag but didn't see one.I was hoping you would drop by and say hello.

 

[serpenttongue]

AAAAArrrr how do i know hey? the splattered people in the carpark where you and garth runover them trying to escape back to the gong.

:lol:

they're probably to busy trying to screw herp keepers over with the stupid new cage size requirements they are trying to implement. besides, the lisencing department are only open 8.30-1.30 mon-fri they told me.... surely we cant expect them to take time from there obviously extremely busy schedule to try and help people out!
NPWS lisencing department, the system is one of the biggest jokes in NSW!

Yes if they had a stall and provided imformation on licensing and sold at least class 1 licenses that would be good and theyd make considerable revenue,the fact there was a petition there to get them to put womas down to class 1 shows how uninvolved they are with the whole process that they administer.

re The

Hi rams,i saw some nice patterned albino carpets and thought they might have been yours,if i had a nametag ide probably have to carry a machine gun or hang around John Wiegal and let people attack him first thus making them too tired to throw punchs and abuse

I prefer a dis orientated cheesy mouthed carpet, you'll move them on in no time..

I agree - NPWS could have created much revenue, but it could have been a catch 22 by encouraging people who are ill equipped to own or encourage impulse buying.

It would only be common sense for them to display interest and presence over the show especially when reptiles are being brought and sold.

I'm also very disappointed as they could have promoted the hobby, offer advice on husbandry, enforce the standards of keeping reptiles, information on classes (and progress), and feeding tips for a lot of new keepers.

I know that DSE normally are normally present for the shows that are held in Vic. Hopefully someone who works for them reads this and gets them out there.

As for the Womas, well, I am definately waiting for the day they go down to class 1 -> they were being sold for less than half the price of the BHPs. Also good to see RSPs have come down in price

[souljah]

Does anyone know who owned the high yellow and black jungle that won first prize?? There was a number written on the tank but I didnt get a chance to write it down...

 

[Ramsayi]

The DECC were present on at least 2 of the 3 days.They were walking around checking things out on the quiet. I agree though it would of been good for them to have an information table over the weekend.
