While there may be other expos it is easily arguable that this is the biggest expo. As far as I am aware it is the only multiple day one and does more than just show and sell animals like others do. I am not saying it is bad to show new people that reptiles can be kept, however I do believe those people already keeping them are much happier to put the effort into going to a specific separate expo which is run far better than the other expos with great displays and many different representatives from many places, such as people from interstate as beeman said. I just think that as much as this show may have been an interesting exibit at the Easter Show it leaves out all the people the industry should be targeting, that being the herp enthusiasts already out there in plethora.
I still think the introduction to new people of this hobby is important but to change the entire expo into this instead of say setting up one stand at the Easter Show to advertise the actual show and the hobby. I think would have been a better idea.
