Gold Coast Expo

[ssnakeboyy]

Hey everyone,

i was just wondering whether there is going to be a reptile expo at the goldie this year, I can't find any sites that say when or if there will be one.

 

[PieBald]

i think there is but you cant buy live stock only supplys. its normally around july

I've heard you can buy reptiles in the car park.

 

[PieBald]

I dont know anyone setting up their stall in the car park........

 

[ssnakeboyy]

Nah haha. It's after the expo that you could buy if you arrange it.

 

[Specks]

Just wait till troy announces the dates
It will be at parklands again in July

 

[PieBald]

That's who I was looking for Troy will release the dates

Unless they can sort out the no Woma or Native GTP issue i think i might QLD expos a miss. Stupid DEHP rules

 

[PieBald]

Yea Queensland needs to catch up and at least be able to buy livestock at expos, has anyone ever tried to change that. Scales and tails should do a petition. Think I spelt that right..

 

[PieBald]

Would anyone do that it would be quite cool if they did

 

[Specks]

If I could be done don't you think it would of been done ?

 

[PieBald]

It may have been done but the reptile community may not have been so big then.

 

[Specks]

What the hell are you on about
I know for a fact troy and others involved in the gold coast expo and also the ipswich expo have explored all the routes to make it possible
They did it at ipswich the year before but according to derm it shouldn't of happened.

 

[PieBald]

ohh seems like their fighting a never ending battle...

If you cant display womas or native gtp your dreaming to think they'll allow you to sell animals.
Rules are rules, unfortuneatly ours are outdated and backwards....
Hopefully the authorities will get with the times.

I know there are these rules but I remember GTP's on display at the last Gold Coast expo, do you know why they were allowed to be there? I think I heard something about them coming from another state where they are not a restricted species.

They can't display native GTP's but you can display as many exotic ones as you like. That's how much of a joke DEHP are.

From what i understand with the GTP you could display exotic non - native greens but not true aussie ones or woma because they we're on a restricted licence. Regardless you need to be licenced to own them but cant show them??? mind boggles, I would love to display some of my womas as seeing them in pic's to seeing them in the flesh is something else.

Hopefully DEHP will see sense and allow all australian species not just the ones on a recreational licence.
