EXHIBITS
Entries will be open to all type of reptiles including elapids this year we will ask for one entry per species; for example if you have 3 bluetongues, this will be classified as a single entry and house in one enclosure, the judges will judge the best one of the 3.
A junior section has been created. The winner of the junior division will be the person with the animal that receives the highest score from the judges. The same method as choosing the winner of each of the categories.
To be eligible you must be 17 years old or under on March 30th. You must be the licence holder of the animals being displayed and you must bring your licence books to prove it. You will also need to prove your age.
URS is offering a limited number of their enclosures at show discounts. This offer is only available to people exhibiting animals at the expo and only available for animals that they are displaying!
So go to www.ultimatereptiles.com.au and check out their glass terrariums and budget vivarium ranges. Tell us what you are displaying and what enclosure you want to display it in. We will then tell you what price we can arrange the enclosure for.
Please note that you will have to collect the enclosure at the expo. If you don't display the animal you don't get the enclosure.
SHOW DISPLAY FEES
