there was a 3yo MD that i wanted to get but was gone in the first hour!

I bought the MD, I am happy with the look of it however it's temperament leaves a lot to be desired. Owner stated its fairly calm and has never bitten, it smashed me yesterday when I put it in its enclosure & strikes at anything that moves lol. Hopefully it calms down once it settles in. So much for MD's being placid.

Well done on the MD, you have been looking for one!

I had a great day. Met lots of great people, and answered lots of reptile keeper questions - even though I was pimping our Aspen I was surprised though as people with purchased animals in their hands would ask me what to feed them. I thought that was information the seller would provide at the sale?

There were some great looking stands and some very high quality animals available. Obviously they were all sold in the first hour.

Well done to the organisers and the Hawkesbury Herp Society for another successful Western Sydney Reptile Expo.

this was my first time at Penrith,I have been at Castle hill for the past 2.
I also was disappointed at the shortage of lizards,there were a few beardies (nothing spectacular)some tiny water dragons,a few cute cunninghams and several geckoes and a couple of different types of blueys,nice variety of small snakes but once again nothing impressive.
The kids weren't the only annoyance,several times I was trying to take a photo and some adult would just walk in front of me and stand there talking ****e.

[Venomous_RBB]

Meant snakes, dont know why I said pythons :/

Someone was selling some the other day for $500 each.

 

[bk201]

Alot of the expo sellers don't come on sites like this because of all the crap that goes on
They just have loads of awesome stuff and are usually pretty cheap

 

[Venomous_RBB]

Yeah, glad I am going to SOFAR
Hoping to make it to a few of the others next year - castle hill and illawara mainly.
For those that did attend all the expos so far, what was good and not so good?

 

[FAY]

Gee, some people really are hard to please......huge array of reptiles for sale as far as I am concerned. I don't know what more they expect. It was a top day....and huge congratulations to all the organisers.

People sorta forget the huge effort that is put in to make a day come together like that.
