Hi people
that time of year again for the Queensland Reptile Expo on the 25th of April ( long weekend) at the Gladstone PCYC on Yarroon St, and after many discussions with Queensland Parks and Wildlife, we have nutted out a legal way to sell products at the Expo.
For people wishing to display their animals at the expo they must do either one of two things.
1- obtain a demonstrators permit for that month at a cost of around $135,or
2-you come under my demonstrators permit at no cost.it only involves me filling out a letter stating that you are operating under my demonstrators licence on the day, and that is it.very simple.
the reason that every person must be under a demonstrators permit is that if even one person isn't under it, the event then becomes an "approved display" and no profit can be made at an approved display.
so now we are allowed to have reptile products ,books, enclosures,etc on sale at the expo but the only people who are able to sell animals are the holders or a commercial reptile licence and they can only be commercial reptiles.
this also means that wishing to display elapids can now do so as long as they are in a locked enclosure.
all exhibitors under the demonstrators permit cannot sell or advertise animals for sale at the event but can still hand out buisness cards as in previous years.
So anyone who wishes to display their reptiles at the event,or set ap a stall to sell products must get in contact with me either via pm, or email at [email protected], or my mobile 0422589221, by friday the 26th of march.
i will post more information as things get finalised.
cheers
