Castle Hill expo pics 2008- dial up warning

[Tiliqua]

G'day guys,
spent a few hours on saturday at the Castle Hill expo. Was a great day out.

Visitors were greeted at the entrance by this massive frog balloon


Robo-croc demonstrated his chomping power to everyone's delight


The 'best in show' hall was very packed at most times so getting good photo's in there was a little difficult. Here's what i managed
A fantastic striped carpet

another great carpet

an unusual stimson's python

a great looking Woma

a beautiful Blotched bluey


As we moved towards an outside area we viewed taipans, inland taipan, different monitors, scrub pythons and heaps more. Here's some exhibits that really caught my eye
A Pale-headed snake

Crested dragons

Thorny devil

I noticed this bar-sided skink hiding in the hollow of the scrub python exhibit

A gigantic olive python

The highlight of the show for me were the Pygmy spiny-tailed skinks


Amongst the retail outlets, even more quality reptiles were on show.
Green python

A huge carpet python

Snake ranch's Albino bluey, this one appeared to have transparent skin in between the scales

And the much-talked about Banded knob-tailed gecko



cheers

I was particularly impressed with the glebopalma, thanks Troy.

But once again the quality of animals on display was excellent.
