Reptile expo pickups

[HAMISH_NOAH]

Just asking what did you guys get from the castle hill expo? I got a pair of ackies and a woodie colony

 

[The_Geeza]

The flu probably... Standing in that cue for way to long

 

[Illium]

I got a green balloon!

Nearly went for the yellow ackies and black headed monitors though

we picked up 150 worth of bulbs at better than 1/2 price and some central beardies . wanted some giant burrowing cockies but alas some people have big issues with roaches !! even if they only eat the leaves on the bottom of our stick insect enclosure

and there were some very nice leaf tails too

 

[HAMISH_NOAH]

Haha yeah waiting in that line was ridiculous especially if you didn't have an umbrella, yeah almost bought a pair of black heads they were amazing, and those lit bulbs where great

MMMM just had a look at the seller of the cockroaches and they are considerably cheaper on their website

glad I didn't buy them .

 

[HAMISH_NOAH]

Attempting to sell them for more because of the large crowds

That line. I got there early and they opened late so I was standing there in the rain for 40min even though I was close to the entrance.

Got a lovely patternless childrens, almost got an albino darwin but I didn't want to spend $700-$800 for one. Maybe next time.

When you pay for a table fee, advertising, cost to get too and from the expo, display cases, tubs etc I think it's only fair that they are more expensive.

 

[HAMISH_NOAH]

Yeah but they are trully beautiful snakes

Picked up this little beauty, popped in his new enclosure and he's gone a bit feisty, striking when i walk past the tank. Is this normal? All my other pythons have been fine from day one.

I was surprised how few jungle hatchies were available.. Ohh and where were snake ranch?

Give it time to settle... Good feed and prob be fine again

 

[Nathyrich]

Yeah thought so, ill give it a week or there abouts and offer a feed and go from there.\

I emailed snake ranch last week and was told they would not be attending but will be at the Penrith expo in a couple of weeks.

I'd doesn't hurt to offer food straight away ( even tho people state the opposite ).... This is basically only because on the odd occasion the snake in question is freaking out... I'm yet to have a new snake that didn't take a feed ( and they seem to settle on there warm spot and settle quicker)... Mainly cause the breeders keep feeding to min and they r normally hungry

 

[Nathyrich]

Ok will try tomorrow then, worst that can happen is it refuses haha. Thanks for the advice Geeza!
