[FAY]

Should be a great Show Pablo!!

Are you looking for volunteers to help set up etc?????

 

[luvezit]

Does anyone know of anyone selling turtles at the expo and what prices i should be expecting to pay???

 

[DA_GRIZ]

from memory there was turtles there last year ranging from 50bucks , but it depends on whats available this season.

are you's expecting it to be bigger this year pablo?

 

[peterjohnson64]

Lat year we had lots of turtles from ARthur Weeding and I think from memory they were around $80 each for long necks and macquaries. He may also have Macleays this year as well (they max out at 6 inches)

 

[eden roscoe]

do we have to be a member of a reptile society to purchase a reptile at the macherps expo

 

[peterjohnson64]

You MUST be a member of a recognised herp society. This is a condition on your licence not a condition of ours. You can join Mac Herps on the day. National Parks WILL be there.

 

[LullabyLizard]

Yay! I'll be there again

How much would it cost to enter 2 geckos?

 

[sydneytradingco]

Everyone PLEASE GO !! I went last year expecting a nice little club show BUt it was brilliant. Stacks of exhibits and bargains!!
Loved it!

 

[peterjohnson64]

Its free to enter animals and you go into the draw to win snake ranch vouchers. And we only get about 30 people entering so your chances of winning a voucher are quite good. But you must supply your own enclosures.

we'll be there again

 

[=bECS=]

You MUST be a member of a recognised herp society. This is a condition on your licence not a condition of ours. You can join Mac Herps on the day. National Parks WILL be there.

Does aps count as a herp society? If you pay for a subscriber, its kinda like paying society fees

 

[peterjohnson64]

I don't know - that is up to NPWS. As I said, this is not our rule it is theirs. If they approve of APS then you are fine. Although you would need some sort of proof such as a membership card like those provided by Mac Herps.

There were probably some transactions last year between non herp club members. We can't patrol that. But if NPWS just happen to be there when you buy an animal you may be in trouble Iwell, actually more the seller)

 

[pbolomey]

There is still openings for the Show exhibit:
Every show application will get a raffle entry to the following prize vouchers by Snake Ranch:
1st Price $500
2nd Price $300
3rd Price $200

If you have downloaded a show application form, please send it in to us, this will confirm your place on the exhibits.

NOTE: You MUST be a member of a recognised herp society. This is a condition on your licence not a condition of ours. You can join Mac Herps on the day. National Parks WILL be there.

 

[Kirby]

i have to be a herp society member to buy?

in the event i do wish to purchase... how much is a membership to mac?

 

[peterjohnson64]

Yes you do need to be a member of a herp society. This is not our rule but the Department's. Membership costs $15 and can be completed at the show on the day.

And no, being a member of APS does not comply with the Department's requirements.

 

[mysnakesau]

I will be there Nothing to sell, no money to buy but will be there to see you all.

 

[Luke1]

Does anyone know of anyone selling turtles at the expo and what prices i should be expecting to pay???

stay until the end of the day and everything is dirt cheap!!!!!

 

[thenicewitch]

Only 1 or 2 spots left for sellers so get in quick if you are thinking about it.

We still need a few animals to enter the show. As Pablo has mentioned it is free to enter and we have the best prizes with every entry having the same chance to win because every entry gets a ticket into the draw.

Every show application will get a raffle entry to the following prize vouchers by Snake Ranch:
1st Price $500
2nd Price $300
3rd Price $200
While we will still accept most animals we are particularly after more turtles, frogs, geckos and monitors. If you have any of these we would love to see them. The more we get the better the show.

Anyone who is interested needs to download an application form from www.macherps.com or come to our club meeting this Friday night and fill out a form there.
