re Illawarra

I turned up at 11 am with the tin lids in tow,there was a filthy dirty big giant line that went around buildings and through the car park.
This was too much wait for uncle zulu,so i retreated to another place for a few hours and returned with tin lids.
When i finally seen where it was, it was a reasonable size,idont think the organisers expected such a large throng of reptilites.
There was some very good herps on display and for sale,some good monitors and gex by Sponge Bob in particular.
Some familiar faces of the reptile world were there,"Ramsayi" with some very nice albino darwins, Hawkesbury reptiles had some nice stock also,bought a few herp products off of Brad Walker.
Was a good today and a credit to the Illawarra Herp society,
DECCW allowing selling was obviously a help to keepers and those selling herp associated products,so believe it or not they have actually done something helpful :lol:

I'm glad I was like 4th in a queue to enter at 9.40am... I was in there for about 2 hours then it started getting VERY busy... luckily i didn't apply for any extra snake licensing or I would of come home with another one, the only snake I could of legally come back with was a diamond and thankfully no one was selling hatchie diamonds! There was some beautiful ones in the click clacks with glass fronts though!!

When I left the event the line was out way past the car park was a bit ridiculous, maybe bigger venue as per above next time

I have a few questions!

Why does every kid try to pat a snake strait on the head?
Why were some people trying to sell King/Superworms as 'LARGER MEALWORMS' ? and even he couldn't really say anything when i asked him on it... As they were definitely medium sized superworms he was selling as mealworms..

My mum fell in love with geckos, and it was a very well setup presentation etc - Maybe the 'shows' or people handling pets could be outside of the buy/display areas? or they both be completely separate (obviously diff venue)

Anyway, enjoyed my day and my drive back to Canberra!

Personally i loved the boyds and the monitors. Some gorgeous snakes there also.

With out a doubt one of the stand out animals was Fays Albino Darwin....what a cracker that was.
Here is one of the Aspers Pia had for sale... guess where it ended up
