This guy's collection was very nice, the lower albino was simply stunning - and he had rough scales which is the first time I have checked out of them up close, the jungle pics is a great shot,
And he put this smile on my boy's face by letting him handle the olive python - which was priceless.
Cheers
Adam.

Just got back and the family is still talking about it. As for holding it in the SE corner to hell with that!. The day was fantastic and the fact that it was somewhat central to everybody will ensure its success for years to come. Premier Pythons' display was outstanding and I would like to thank them for making the effort.

Koorana won people choice award & Ian & Paula Davidson won exhibitors award with they Jungles and yellowish Diamond, well this what Derek told dad.

Hello all, this is my first post here. The day was brilliant this had a much larger turnout than I had expected, all I can say is a big THANK-YOU Simon for organising this all.

Here is a few random pics I took throughout the day, I've hosted them on photobucket due to the file size. Some are a little dark but I took them without a flash as one snake i took a pic of with the flash got a tad upset.

Great photo's Trigger, I might have to make it up there next year.

 

[PremierPythons]

Just made it back from the expo and I must say that it was a huge success in my opinion. Well done firstly to slimebo and all the organizers who put in so much effort! And thanks to everyone who came out to support the event on the day. I think just about everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. You certainly can't argue with 1500 patrons at the first ever Qld Reptile Expo.

To those who visited our display, I say thank you for supporting us. And to those who have left comments about our display in this thread I thank you also. I will post pictures later on today when I get a chance to download them all. If anyone has any photos of our animals/displays they'd like to share with us for our website, we'd be very grateful. Email us at [email protected] if you have any pics we could use!!!

We were also pleased to win Exhibitors Choice Awards for Best Bredli, Best Gecko & Best Stimson's Python.

Cheers,
PP

Just got back from Gladstone and have put our babies away.
I second the motion that the day was a roaring success...
Count us in for next year -
It was a huge surprise to take home Exhibitors choice award trophy (for best overall snake)- for our female diamond
Also got best Jungle, Bearded dragon and coastal carpet.
Will post some pics later once I have loaded them on the computer.
I was good to put some faces to the names at long last - and hopefully some long and lasting friendships have been made.

Well done Simon for a great day - it was well worth the effort.

i'm kinda sad i wasnt able to make it oh well, theres always next year so hopefully get to see a few of you then. Anyway a huge congrats to slimbo and the other organisers, looks like it was a huge success

The expo was amazing. ALL animals were in perfect condition and a credit to their keepers. The ven show was very good and the inland taipan was an amazing animal ( actually the coastal taipan was a great animal too, possibly the best I have ever seen).
My bet is that the price of baby snakes will increase dramatically in Gladstone.
Full credit to the organizers for a job well done.
