Who else is hanging for that day in Feb?

[TaraLeigh]

G’day everyone.
I’m fairly excited for the VHS Reptile and Amphibian Expo in Melbourne next Feb and was talking to some friends last night that plan to take multiple thousands of dollars and have a list of 4 snakes they wish to purchase there. I had already been thinking and planning my own list and funds but it really got me thinking on exactly what I want and need to do in preparation for it. Also whether it is just hopes and dreams or it will really happen.

So point of posting this thread I suppose is to see what other people’s plans are for the day and if anyone has any ideas as to what will be available and maybe even prices. What are people’s wish lists? What do people hope to buy/take home? Or do some just plan to look and soak it all in? What do we want to see there? What do we plan on getting out of the day? I’m not just talking reptiles either, enclosures, accessories, magazines/books, whatever!

Personally, I look forward to meeting people, seeing some nice setups and reptiles n’ amphibians. I plan on buying some Chlamydosaurus kingii mainly, I’d like a pair of Morelia carinata too and maybe even a baby GTP but I plan to have one of them before then too, so not too sure on that one, depends on funds I guess. I have a large want list but many people think I want everything, I don’t. But I want a lot. We’ll see what happens. Can’t wait.

I'd look forward to it more if it didn't correspond with my yearly pilgrimage to the NSW South coast chasing fish, photographing reptiles and all round good times. Why can't the organisers be more focused on my needs?

 

[TaraLeigh]

Yeah that's a bit rude.
Well at least you'll have fun doing what you do.

 

[edstar]

yeah so cant wait.. hoping to get some geckos. hope they have a atm there this time.. never take enough money!

I haven't checked the moon chart for Feb yet so I may just make it.

 

[TaraLeigh]

Nice edstar. I just got my first geckos. Looking at more instantly of course. Aha. May be on the list of mine too....
My first time was this year, nowhere near enough money. But this year planning has come early

Sweet Wally. Would be good to say ello face to face.

 

[KaotikJezta]

I'm thinking maybe a GTP and an Ackie and maybe some geckos and definitely a black bluetongue.

 

[TaraLeigh]

Black Bluie! Yes! They are in my more distant future list. Aha.
I have an Ackie but I want multiple.
The GTP I plan to get won't be a yellow worm so therefore, I need to get a little yellow one as well.

Sweet Wally. Would be good to say ello face to face.

If I make it I'll screen print a T Shirt with ' I'm Wally ' on it . Wouldn't want to get lost in a crowd now would I.

 

[KaotikJezta]

We should have a meetup.

 

[Wally]

We should have a meetup.

Only if you promise not to argue with me.

 

[edstar]

[KaotikJezta]

I promise Wally!

 

[Wally]

We'll see how it goes. :lol:

 

[Gangrenous]

Yep been waiting since April. Im making my list and checking it twice, gotta buy some herps both naughty and nice.

 

[Red-Ink]

I purposely left my license at home last time... maybe a different story this time.
For those after gex... hopefully Kupper will be selling there again, his display last time was a cracker.

Ohhh wear APS name tags folks, it'll make it easier on all of us lol.
