Qld Reptile Expo update-Simon Stone

[PimmsPythons]

as stated near the end of the last thread ,as well as Reptiles Australia coming on board as a sponser,we are very excited to say that Simon Stone from Southern Cross reptiles ,has kindly offered his time to come up and be a special guest at the Queensland Reptile Expo.there will be many snakes on display there that he has bred including jungles,blackheads and, at the moment ,about half a dozen albino darwins so no doubt he will be interested in seeing how they are progressing.
still taking orders for tables so dont be shy,book a table. even though we cant sell any thing there it will be very benifitial for breeders to show off what you have got and you can hand out buisness cards with your name and phone number on it.there will have a stack of baby pythons on display that CAN'T be purchaced at the EXPO,but arrangments can be made at a later time.
even the hobby owners,whatever you have,come and show them off. most people who will be walking through the door havent even considered having reptiles as pets,so bring in your blues,maccies,coastals,beardies any of the more common animals,thats what most buy as a first reptile so we want to see plenty there.
there is some cracking animalsbooked in already so keep them coming.
anyhow heres some updated flyers if anyone wound like to post them up.
thanks to everyone who has been helping out and those who have already booked tables
cheers
simon

Update us on the Diamonds.... Daddy!

Update us on the Diamonds.... Daddy!

ended up with only 9 baby diamonds. had a few casualties either because i got to the eggs to late at laying time in an unprepaired box ,or when the heatcord died on me halfway through the incubation and had to find another.luckily the coastal eggs were a bit further along and we got 24 live out of 25 eggs.i'm still very happy though .got some little stunners .

All the best with the Expo but I think I am correct in saying that Brisbane may have been a more suitable venue.

awww your babies are gorgeous ^_^
i am happy to say that i am going to both the macherps and the gladstone expo, i couldnt decide between them so tried to convince my mum.. she end up saying if we flew to the macherps one instead of driving, i could drive to the Gladstone one!! it seriously is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a long while!! so i am glad and i WILL see you there
i am still putting up flyers, but now those ones
i only have one snake, so to put him on display would be a little silly, unless we had a table where owners can pool in and share? (theres another good excuse to get more herps haha )

happy and
kind regards,


Nat

That may be Boa....until you take in to consideration the fact that the people organising it are all Gladstone locals and that we don't have the budget to include us all transporting all our animals and ourselves there, paying for accomodation and also covering whatever fees would have been imposed at Brisbane venues, nor could we afford the time off work :lol:

 

[Dodie]

I'll be happy to travel to Gladstone, haven't been there before and it's closer for the people a bit further North

 

[PimmsPythons]

All the best with the Expo but I think I am correct in saying that Brisbane may have been a more suitable venue.

maybe next year.we've already got a good turnout and variety for this year with many brisbane people coming up.we are also only a small group of organisers with little funds and not in it for the profit so we'll see how it goes.
cheers

As kersten said, the people who bothered to organise it are in Gladstone, why should they go out of their way to host it in Brisbane, if you wanted it at Brisbane someone else should have put in the effort and organised it :lol:

Plus from what ive heard so far its going to be a bloody awesome day anyway, even if it isnt in Brisbane

 

[TRIMACO]

We are happy it is in Gladstone. This is a great little town with reptile lovers who have put in the effort. It should stay here and people can travel here for a change, after all we have to go to Brisbane for concerts etc.... this is Gladstone's turn to shine. The wonderful people who have set this expo up all have full time jobs so their efforts are outstanding. Thank you Guys

 

[WombleHerp]

i am more then happy to drive 7 1/2 hours north, sounds like fun, and for a great event too! thanks again simon and others that organised it, should be really good cant wait!

dont forget,if your driving all the way up ,and your a reptile owner,why not bring them up and show them off.the more the merrier (make sure you let me know before the 16th of april though).you should only need some big click clacks(the starmaid ones are quite clear) and your right to go.there will be peoples choice trophies and "best of"certificates for the species that we get a certain number of.come and be part of it.

it will be a good "get together".i also think if it was in brisbane you would mostly get reptile enthusiests who have already seen most reptiles and have plenty of knowledge.having it in gladstone ,we will probably get half the population there because its an" event in gladstone" whether they are interested or not ,and we can teach them that a snake isn't just something you hit with a shovel.yet gladstone is still close enough for enthusiests
-brisbane 6 hours
-sunnycoast 5hours

so come on up
cheers
