Victorian Reptile Expo and VHS Special Greg Maxwell/Steve Wilson meeting upate

[herptrader]

I have just posted the list of items that will be up for Auction at the Greg Maxwell VHS meeting on the day after the expo. Most even with photographs.

There is well over 40 herp related items up for grabs... and more than a few I will be bidding on!

All the details are on the VHS web site: http://vhs.com.au (and yes there is an entrance fee for non VHS members - for both events)

Brian took most of the photos and prepared the text. I just had to format it and put it up on the web site which was enough.

There is some really interesting stuff there, particularly some of the signed books and the like.

Somebody last week was looking for a lift from that area? (provided they could fit it in alongside their VCE studies). I think they posted to one of the other threads on this topic.

Cannot say for sure but I would expect so with so many herpers selling reptiles.

Of the names I have seen most of them are python people.

I know for sure that there will be a reasonable selection of jungles, some carpets and some beardies but that is only from chatting to only two vendors.

 

[herptrader]

I should point out that there is also some pythons included in the Auction at the special VHS meeting on the Sunday.

This includes a pair of Snake Ranch Womas with a starting bid of just $500 for the pair.
(My hunch is that my wife will be bidding on these - she has a soft spot for Womas.)

The expo is a cash only affair with the nearest ATM a couple of K away so come prepared.

 

[herptrader]

I have just added a few more Auction (for the special VHS meeting on the Sunday with Greg Maxwell) items to the Calendar page... including a pair of Brown Tree Snakes.

Check out: http://vhs.com.au/pages/Calendar.html

I believe the donor is from Queensland and traveling down to make the most of the weekend.

 

[herptrader]

John Weigel has sent through the actual photographs of the pair of Womas that he has donated for the Auction that is part of the VHS special Greg Maxwell meeting. I have just included them on the VHS web site.

They are auction lot 33 on the Calendar page: http://vhs.com.au/pages/Calendar.html
