I am not sure exactly how many geckos you would like to have on display or where you could get more than 26 different species on display at one time other than at a very good keepers place! I organized the gecko display and there were 26 different species on display. Two were exceptionally rare in general circles namely the granite belt thick tail which I believe VERY few people had seen before, plus the fringe toed gecko. It is interesting that you did say however that you got good information on how to look after geckos.
Surely that is an indication of the level of commitement of the people who were there giving their time freely to add to the hobby rather than be critical of what was an exceptional effort on many peoples part. It is Thursday night and the clean up is still not finished as I have just come home from it and many were there from Monday setting up to make it happen. I suspect very few are aware of the amount of planning and effort that happens behind the scenes ALL on a voluntary basis.
Perhaps you can offer some constructive comments about how it could be enhanced for the next expo or perhaps where we could source a "better" supply of geckos with more variety?
I understand how much planing goes in to an expo, but there is always room for imporvement. I would have liked to see the geckos in the displays have the breeders name on the cages making it easier to source hatchies. Stalls should be set up and ready to go by opening time not set up during the day. Maybe a leaflet explaining where and when demos are. These are just a few things that could be corrected for next yr. Would be nice if more interstate breeders could get there but the bullshit regs dont allow for it. I need all the help i can get when it comes to geckos feathers.
