Reptile Show and Tell in Dublin.

you never know hudsy you might meet some new breeders/keepers that arent on this forum or other forums. who you know helps as much as what you know in the herp world

I can't help it Tan but......
What Sally said Hudsy!

Looking forward to meeting anyone who can make it. From certain 'rumours' I have heard, there are going to be some fantastic animals on show, a great variety of keepers displaying their animals on the day and plenty to see and talk about. Most of all (for me in any case) it is a great opportunity to meet people from the forums and the Herp Society, and put faces to names. It is brilliant to be able to chat about reptiles to people who are actually bothered!
It is nice to come out of the 'internet bubble' every once in a while and appreciate that forum personalities are actually real life people (in some cases!),

I will try to bring some nice animals myself. I'm really looking forward to seeing Elaine's uros!

hope they dont get stage fright now lol if i can manage it and if theres space i might try bring both ornates vivs as i really dont think bambam would like an exo terra for the day he could go in with pebbles as they do spend time together but not for more then half an hour at a time. defo time to get the thinking cap on and figure it out

I know, it's a mind buggler alright. I would normally transport snakes in bags/polyboxes, but obviously that's not suitable for this event!

how to display a 10 ft + snake? Thinking on dragging along a big herptek viv, but that means messing my reptile room up! :(
Perhaps I'll just stick to smaller animals

Looking forward to meeting you also Elaine

ah i tell ye this thinking lark hurts, have to figure out if i can get a full viv down the stairs without killing someone though it would be far handier if i could bring his viv would solve a lot of problems with him. the geyri is gonna have a nice tub and he will be fine.


looking forward to meeting everyone i have to say, its gonna be a good day and i can see people having to be forced out the door when its over

There's ways of doing things. Get onto Steve with the details of equipment, and to locate the fine definitions of queries on rules.

Although we aim to get the venue cleared by 4:30 (the venue has an open day the next day and we want to make sure everything is cleaned etc), there won't be too much shoving people out of the door......it would be a dignified request for people leave in a respectful and orderly manner. :)

Rules are rules, they are there for a good reason, and they apply to all of us.

Just an update.....

The Irish Tropical Fish Society have been invited to be in attendance with a small stand.

So we will have a few additional people who may be able to help out or chat with general aquatic items eg fish, filters for turtles and axolotls etc.

There is still time to get onto Steve at Science@thehsi.org to book animals for the Show and Tell.

I understand that people booking Inverts and Amphibians to bring is a little low in number at present.
Anyone wish to bump those numbers up? Contact Steve.

If I was free tomorrow Ian I would bring a few reps, amphibs, inverts and maybe a few other beasties along but alas I gotta get the work shoes on tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Its not until the 5th of March Karl. Another few weeks away yet :)

Or on that note do you have to work every Saturday? :(

Yeah. Don't do that Morellia.
This could loom so quickly that it could take us unaware.

Mind you, it is the best excuse I've heard so far for not being there on the 5th March. :)

Christ. I can breathe again...

Ooooh interesting, i wonder do any of them have any/know of anyone with Caecilians

I can make a post on their forum to see if anyone does keep them or has kept them.

Ooopps! My bad. Thats what I get for popping on and skim-reading to save time. 5th March....unless something pops up I'll aim to get down that way with maybe a few other peeps from NI?

Luckily I don't have to work every Saturday Mark - that wouldn't be fun at all!

Brill! Bring something nice for me to look at

Remember this is Saturday 5th March.

The Irish Tropical Fish Society will also be there.

(ps. I could have attached the poster, but it is quite big, and In didn't want to overload the site here.)

Hoping to see some familiar and some new faces.

Look out for continuing updates from members of the HSI.

Cheers Joe.

Praise should go to 'Rob' Rob for compiling the poster.

Great poster guys

***** THE DEADLINE FOR PRE-BOOKING ANIMALS HAS PASSED *****

So who all made it to the HSI show and tell, did everyone have a good day. I unfortunately couldn't make it down, i was very disappointed
