Nope, Ill try and get a few shots of my adult 'pygmy wa womas'
with something for comparison, they easily get to 4.5ft and 2kg. Actually, while they are smaller than NT's, its not a big difference. I have yearling boodaries bigger than that 'fully grown adult'... haha!Yes they breed small, but so do all other pythons. i think ill pair my 5ft coastals and sell there offspring as pygmy's also!

i was going to set up a stall............just to short notice for me personally.
But, we all must congratulate the people running the show.
Its easy to critisize, but to get off your butt and actually have a go is not a easy thing.
It will only get better and bigger in years to come, and the 1 day schedule is a lot better IMO.

I thought it was pretty good especially the turn out, allot of people in that area were keen to get their license, everywhere i turned there was someone asking for the form.
I don't understand why saying it was a let down makes you feel better.. if your gonna be rude & negative about it, don't bother coming to any of the herp society expo's, or any by that matter - as they're similar to having a few key reptile chains, up to 10-15 breeders & some enclosure/set up stalls...
Most people value the social catch up aspect, in which Im glad I went. Never expect to buy anything or nor do I get disappointed about range of snakes for sale, why would I want left overs?!
It was quite busy at the start, lots of children running around, but calmed down at 2:30pm - lots to buy / see. Really wanted a black blue tongue, had many there...maybe when they go down in price ..lol
I saw a guy yell at a child that just walked within half a metre of the cockatoo, yelling "IT WONT BE TOO HAPPY, IT WILL BITE!!!!" lol The kid was prob. traumatised like someone said before hahaha - But yeah he had it lifting a energy v can which everyone gathered to take photos of.. *i did...* lol
Food Selection was the better than any other expo I've been to - had a cafe with everything + 2 sausage sizzles, one outside one in outdoor area - (which is main priority) lol - but yeah...no coffee.. - max brenner 2 min away tho lol
Reptiles were a little pricey but that only makes it better for me to sell my own,
also I have about 20 purple bags in my car - might have a party with the balloons.

Its been my experience - with school P & C, kids sport etc, that the people who whinge the loudest about how things are done, are generally the ones who are not willing to lift a finger to do anything or get involved
Good job with the Expo. It takes a lot to get one up and going.

I thought its was good, but I was just hoping to see a JAG, just because I havent seen one in person.
Everything was really cheap too.

The expo was pretty good, some nice animals there, an anteresia with a double dorsal stripe, quite a few perthensis too. The Sunburst was pretty hot. Picked up a female amyae, so happy with that. No vens there though? Plenty of BHPs on offer out there.
And I don't see why a bit of PR for the hobby is a bad thing. The Easter Show thing is only for this year anyway, apparently.
Seriously? Saw a few of 'em out there. Stimmo even had his own stall out there promoting the other expo.

Jason, who had the roughies? I didn't see any out there. Asked SR about them but apparently they only have 2 feeding at the moment, so aren't releasing any of their stock yet (fair enough)

I volunteered there and helped setting up. When I asked why they were separated like that I was told it was a legal thing that you couldn't have retailers and breeders selling in the "same place". Does anyone know if this is true?
Unfortunately yeah they were. Supposedly there was meant to be an albino mac and/or possibly a leucistic mac but otherwise the albino Darwins and a single GTP were the most interesting there
Agreed. They were pretty stressed at times but think they did a really good job in the end. Were you volunteering there as well Waterrat? Which one were you?
By the way I just noticed the picture for this month in my APS calendar is yours (only took a couple of weeks to notice). Nice job it's a great pic

A deal between mates, unfortunately none were available at the show.
I wasn't volunteering, I just attended like everybody else. The green shirt was a gift from Adrian.
Thanks for the compliment on my photo and the silent reminder to hang up the calendar. lol

I doubt they only have 1 albino spotted in existence when they breed at such a young age. Only 1 adult...maybe?
They would not be letting hets go until they had proven the line and produced other albinos...otherwise they could not sell them as hets.
They also have albino Olives, Darwins, Bluetongues and ??? Not to mention all of their other cool locale stuff. I think it would have added a lot to their stand and the show if such a large breeder could have had some of their nicer adult animals on display.
As I said, I think the show was a great success overall and I also managed to pick up a great new little animal for my collection at a bargain price...thanks Bryce
