getting alot of interest for the expo now and thanks to everyone who has been helping out.because some people are bringing alot of reptiles we have decided to revamp our table prices.we are working off basicly 5 reptiles per table.these are strictly per each exhibitor.
1 table-$50
2 tables-$80
3 tables - $100
$30 per table after that
the tables are 2.4m long x75cm wide,so they are quite large.
now, if you are bringing small pythons lizards or turtles and you can fit more on a table,that is fine,it will only cost you for the price of the table.no stacking them on top of each other because they could get knocked off.so work off those table measurements when you book your tables.there are chairs available and the 40m x18m hall is airconditioned.
as i said ,the tables are starting to get booked up so those wanting to show off their pets or breeders may want to get in early.still waiting to hear from the turtle people..
cheers
simon

Apart from the legislation issues, how did you go with the Public Liability insurance coverage? Does it come with the venue or are you part of an association thats holding the event?

I'm confused about the point of the expo. If there is no buying, selling or advertising of animals or merchandise, why would people attend? Would probably be better to go to a zoo. What motivation would people have in forking out 50 bucks for a table plus an extra 10 bucks per reptile if nothing will come of it. Is it to show off what they own? Maybe im missing something....

It is a good oppertunity to see what people are breeding,make contacts and enjoy the company of Herpers  . Just because things can't be sold at the expo it doesn't mean you can't get a breeders phone number.

Is it to show off what they own? Maybe im missing something.... | as hawke said.but not just to get the ball rolling,for when the laws change.up here there is a very limited zoos and chances to see albino pythons,gtps,rsp ,inland taipans,mulgas , bhp,womas,boyds,frillies,hypos, scrubbies ,etc all in one place.it will be a massive help to breeders to get their name out there and supporting these things ,and potental buyers can see whats on offer.we are going to give out little trophies at the end of the day,so for example,someone wins " best bhp",then it breeds and the babies can be advertised as "mother won best bhp at the queensland reptile expo".i'm sure every qld breeder would like that on their resume.
its also about education and conservation and people to not hit wild snakes with a shovel.
it will be a fun day with loads of demonstrations,photo opps,meeting up with other collecters and breeders.

I live in Gladstone and I have only owned reptiles for about 18 months. I only know a handful of people locally who have the same interests. I have been buying my reptiles and product from out of town because I didn't know where to go locally. This will be a great chance for me to get to know the locals and get local contact so I don't have to go out of town to buy. My wish list is very long so I know the breeders will be just as happy to meet me as I will be to meet them, I am a future customer after all. Great job guys.
