Victorian Reptile expo!

[dihsmaj]

i picked up two black blue tongues in the auction, 600 for the two, i bought two earlier that day for not too much more then that so i was pretty happy with my 4 new black babies!! amazing display by Micheal alexender i am EXTREMELY jealous of that chappell island tiger!! it really was one of my highlights of the expo. kupper had some amazing geckos on display, im definantly going to be in contact with him(when my bank account gets back to normal), all in all it was a great day!!

Those vens were amazing, loved the Taipans (Inlands and Coastals), loved the Tiger, and loved the RBB!

Sheep in headlights!

Thanks for the support everybody! We should have some professional images up during the week.
No worries Kupper!

OMG that Chappell island tiger was a show-stopper! Blacksnake Productions' elapid display with gorgeous animals in nicely landscaped enclosures a was a great addition to the expo!
BUT...
What an AWESOME Expo!
I am so impressed with this incredible effort.
I thought the venue was perfect, just the right amount of space to feel not too crowded but with an exciting "bustling" atmosphere.
It was inspiring to see so many of Australia's most respected herpos there too.
From keelbacks to hybrid albinos, the variety of herps available for sale was incredible, with so many bargains.
It was great to see Vic DEC wildlife licensing there with what I could see was an excellent rapport with the herp community.
I'm so looking forward to next years VHS expo.
Congratulation VHS, the expo team, and especially Brian Barnett!

Cheers
Stimmo.

The keelbacks were nice.

Thanks Anthony! On behalf of the VHS and Expo coordinator team, good luck with your event! Let's get the public enthralled with the animals we keep and hold so dearly! Everybody gains when we convert more people to the hobby!

I think it worked out to be about 1k, give or take.
Les,i cant answer your abusive pms because your inbox is closed or something.If you have something to say, ring me or email me,,,or better still, come around.
So yeah, it was the first time id seen these bluetongues up close and they realy are very special.
I would have bought a Spencers today if someone had one that was for sale.
Ended up buying one of the stuffed lace monitor puppet thing,,easier to look after anyway.

The black blue-tongues went to Jason for $600 - damn good bargain! Oh, and that was $600 FOR BOTH! (I was the one writing down who got what and for how much!)

It was a great expo, plenty of traffic went through as we've been starved for one for two years lol.

Was great to put a face to a couple of the names on here... Met Sarah at the VHS stand and Kupper at his.
Kick *** stand by the way Chris... that little patternless of yours is even better in the flesh, shame about your super red going into shed as I'm sure that would have sent a few more geckophiles drooling... Hope you had a profitable day mate.

Caught up with the crew from proherp... well they spotted me lol. I never knew that the guys in that company actually were Uni classmates of mine a few years ago now, the things you find out at an expo huh.

James, Helen and Mary hope you had a good day as well it was great to catch up after all these years guys, we'll have to do it again hopefully before the next expo lol

Let the doubters doubt it aint worth much what they say... the important thing is that people who attended had a great day

Where the heck were you? I had my eyes peeled all day, and never saw you once! Mind you, if you were to wander past with four legs and scales, I might've noticed...! lol

I was around from the opening bell but I left at mid-day as my dog just got home the night before from having a knee reconstruction (hence I did not come home with anything alive due to lack of funds). I had the red ink out in full display wearing a blue singlet... made sure I was up and down all the isles. We have to try better next time your in town mate and actually allocate a meeting spot lol.

Had a great day there too, shame I didn't take enough money. Thanks Kupper lol now the misses wants most of the Gecko's you had on display lol (not that I'm complaining ). We only ended up with a couple of thick tails for the misses. Loved the big Monitor on the Black snake display can anyone remember what it was? If I had the money would of come home with the boyd's forest dragons, anyone know who had them, I've got 2 cards not sure which was which, came back with so many lol.

 

[kupper]

the monitor was a spencers...... had him on my shoulder in the morning

have to say your photos come out better than mine LOL

 

[dragon170]

Great day, loved the black and white BHP, in the last row. tip for next year $40 will buy you a murray darling while $ 75 will get you a bredli at the end of the day around from 3.30pm

 

[Just_Plain_Nuts]

Looks like it was a great expo guys. Well done, so spewing I couldn't make it. Getting out of hospital today but Stein Enclosures will definitely be there bigger and better next year. Big thanks to Chris Kupper for everything he seems like a top bloke even though we haven't met yet.

 

[moosenoose]

That was definitely your gecko Kupper! I was oogling a whole heap of the ones you had there...they were gorgeous!!

I made sure I came to the expo with no money, and no license! I'm sure I would/could have walked out with a gigantic bagful of herps and equipment! There was just so much good stuff there! Probably the best expo yet IMHO!

I loved that big Chappell Island tiger! I wanted that to come home with me! He wasn't for sale anyway :lol:
