I was drinking with Billy Connolly!

looked like a good show, i hope in the next couple of years i get up there for one.

im very shocked that people were allowed to take animals out and let people handle them. especially animals like albinos, just for quarentine sake people would have absolutely NO chance of touching my animals.... each to there own i guess.

some great pics thanks for sharing.

i never let anyone handle my albino and the only one of mine that was handled was my olive . that was only for about 10 minutes and the couple of people who handled it were wiped down with alcohol wipes.quarentine is always a bit of an issue at these events , and the exhibitors were told to use wipes when handling,some did ,some didn't,it gets back to them to look after their animals.

Quarrantine

Everyone who wanted to touch/handle our snakes had to put some F10 or the special disentectant on their hands before they could do so.

Ad, Reptiles Downunder good? I've been wanting to go for a while, as we have friends in Childers to stay with. But I don't want to take time off work if its not worth it.
We drove past it on our way home today, and then stopped and got the GREATEST ICECREAM IN THE WORLD! lol.

 

[ad]

lol Kris,
Its always the way isnt it, Kersten will have to have a few Jacks next time, :lol:

Theres smooth ones too with golden tails lol

 

[Kersten]

I'm thinking so Ad, but it'll be vodka instead. It was my mistake, I forgot that when you mix alcohol with sugary drinks it keeps you from getting sick in the morning :lol:

Please no more talk of rough knobbies you Jonno....I already feel sick enough :? :lol:

 

[Kersten]

Dammit Gozz.....shut up you ...... you get the idea :lol:

Looks like it was a great event! I'm sad to have missed it. Great to see a few small skinks were on display!

Hopefully I'll make it up for one in the future, it looks like a good time was had by all

That was my first Reptile Expo ever, and it was Awesome! Very impressed... Got to meet a few APSer's, pretty cool bunch they were! Very funny people indeed! Thanks for all your hospitality guys!
Got a small taste of what it would be like to be an exhibitor and the effort involved... Dont think thats something I'd ever be ready for! So good on them for all their hard work!
Thanks to Webby Wranger for making the trip, had many a laughs on your behalf :lol: Just bummed that I couldnt make it to the dinner with everyone on Sat night due to illnesses, and general exhaustion from such a massive day and a whole day of driving the day before... Was really looking forward to that too! Sounded like it was a ripper! Look forward to next year's one! Hopefully we arent sick next time...
Kermit, I nominate you to cook for us all at the next one, and I expect you to get out the front of the venue and sing and dance also! LOL!!
Haha Kris, I only came across a few Jonnos...I did expect there to be more tho!
Hope you are feeling better Kersten, I'm still ill...:|

All in all it was well worth the 6-7hr drive there! Definately recommend it to anyone that didnt go! I was especially pleased with the small water skinks on display, I was not expecting them at all! Very cool.

So when Ryan had his special attention on saturday night, did he use the prickly or smooth knob. lol.
It would of been a classic night, too bad i was still in recovery mode from friday night.
Look forward to next year, and spending more time with you unruly bunch of herpers.
