Id be interested to hear how many people actually went today. I assume they would have some sort of tally? Would be interesting. I got there early, by the time i left, it was very crowded.

Hey guys,

Was a great day - congratulations to the MacHerps organisers - was even bigger and better than last year...

I must say, the Caramel Childreni that took out first place was well deserving - my humble little Stimmie looked even more humble next to that absolute cracker...

Was also great to meet a few new APS people there (I was the fella wandering inside the fence line most of the day) - I hope I didn't lead anyone astray as I was answering an absolute barrage of questions. i was very impressed by the number of people looking for more information about the animals on display, I think it was a great show for the non-keepers in that regard. The larger snakes were definately people's favourites there - and again, I apologise to the many people who asked me ages of snakes - I really wasn't sure...

Someone mentioned that they were disappointed in the lack of 'normal' animals - I have to admit I was the complete opposite. I was AMAZED by the variety of animals we had - who would have thought that we would have had two Caramel Childreni, Keelbacks, Baritji, Stephen's Banded Snakes, a plethora of Whip Snakes and some Stephen's Bandeds...? let alone the stunning specimens of the more standard animals - Hugsta's new morph MD was a stunner!!

Thanks guys, I had a great day out and hope you all had the same - see you at Illawarra Reptile Society show NEXT WEEK!

Yup, kudos to Pete, Pablo and the other organisers and volunteers, you did a great job

There were plenty of animals, and it was nice to see some of the less common species kept.

the photos and things on display were soo awsome, some people excell in photography so much especially the bullock photos haha i went back at the end and wanted a calendar or something but mum didnt want me to spend any more money so i went :lol:
i ended up with a book on frogs, and some frog call cds and a necklace & ring and stuff lik that. but i got lots of numbers and cards!!! very nice animals there indeed! (i intend on doing a few calls for some froggies and other stuff hehe)
