what an unbelievable success the queensland reptile expo has been.will certainly now become an annual event with many many people wishing to show their animals next year.the quality of reptiles was fantastic and first class.at the end of the day we had around 1500 people through the door and for a while there the lineup to get in was was right out the frout of the complex and down the steps.though the morning there was hardly room to move so next year we will move to the bigger stadium next door
a massive thanks to the exhibitors for there support coming from as far as Brisbane and Emerald and to the people who travelled large distances to check it out.i spoke to people from Mareeba and the goldcoast who made the trip and were impressed with the quality that was there.
another big thanks to the people that made it possible- Derek ,Leonie,Kris,Kirsten,and Kari .about 4 months of organising,legal issues to work around and many headaches.should be easier from now on .and a big thanks to Simon and Diane Stone for donating their time and said they will certainly return and run some cenemar's on breeding and other things next time and they were incredibly impressed how the whole thing went
the 2 big trophies,peoples chioce,was taken out by Kooranna crocodile farm ,and exhibitors choice was taken out buy Ian Davidson's stunning diamond python,who also took out best diamond.
i'm proud as punch to to say i took out best Darwin with my male albino,one of 5 on display for the day.
Kris's ven demonstrations were a hit as well with people 4-5 deep around his 5 meter pit,and a few of the other highlights for me were the roughies,gtp's,some of the best jungles i have seen and a couple amazing bhps.oh and that funny little central netted dragon that cracked me up.wide awake ,running around one minute ,fast asleep the next and it went on like that all day.got to get one of them .
i havent got around to download any photos as yet ,but feel free to post photos from the event on this thread..and especially the other prize winning owners,please post photos of your reptiles and what they took out.
cheers everyone
