|  | Rough-Scale Addict Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-05 Location: Queensland | | | Just made it back from the expo and I must say that it was a huge success in my opinion. Well done firstly to slimebo and all the organizers who put in so much effort! And thanks to everyone who came out to support the event on the day. I think just about everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. You certainly can't argue with 1500 patrons at the first ever Qld Reptile Expo.
To those who visited our display, I say thank you for supporting us. And to those who have left comments about our display in this thread I thank you also. I will post pictures later on today when I get a chance to download them all. If anyone has any photos of our animals/displays they'd like to share with us for our website, we'd be very grateful. Email us at info@premierpythons.com if you have any pics we could use!!! :-)
We were also pleased to win Exhibitors Choice Awards for Best Bredli, Best Gecko & Best Stimson's Python.
Cheers,
PP

|  | yearling Subscriber | Join Date: Mar-07 Location: Emerald Age/Gender: 42 | | | | Just got back from Gladstone and have put our babies away.
I second the motion that the day was a roaring success...
Count us in for next year -
It was a huge surprise to take home Exhibitors choice award trophy (for best overall snake)- for our female diamond
Also got best Jungle, Bearded dragon and coastal carpet.
Will post some pics later once I have loaded them on the computer.
I was good to put some faces to the names at long last - and hopefully some long and lasting friendships have been made.
Well done Simon for a great day - it was well worth the effort.

ALL animals were in perfect condition and a credit to their keepers. The ven show was very good and the inland taipan was an amazing animal ( actually the coastal taipan was a great animal too, possibly the best I have ever seen).
My bet is that the price of baby snakes will increase dramatically in Gladstone.
Full credit to the organizers for a job well done. |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: my own little world Gender: | | | 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. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-06 Location: Central QLD | | | | 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.
