🌟✨ Expo Information ✨🌟

We want to clarify that our expos are not like a traveling circus!🎪

Each event is a unique experience, featuring different vendors in every region. While some vendors join us at multiple expos, most are local to the area, making each expo truly special.

For example, the Rockhampton Reptile Expo is not like the Brisbane Reptile Expo🐍

Each has its own unique vendors!

We also would like to note that we cannot force vendors to vend at our expos, it is entirely up to them if they want to vend😊

Join us to discover diverse reptiles and unique vendors at each of our expos! 🎉🛍️

I love dinosaurs SO MUCH!

Day 4 in Japan!

We went to the fukui dinosaur museum.

I have never seen so many dinosaur skeletons in one place!

Ignore my awkward as f*ck faces🤣 I was a wee bit excited 🤣

Day 2 in Japan!

What an amazing day for a reptile lover like me!

Thank you so much to しょんたむ Shontam for taking the time to show us around and talk to us about the amazing reptiles at his shop called Tokyo Reptiles!

Another big thank you to Scott and Tie Eipper from Nature 4 You for putting me in contact with Shontam!

These are just some quick photos I got on my phone. Reno took some really nice ones on the camera.

This is a great offer for people wanting to try Dubia Roaches.

I definitely recommend dubia over woodies and crickets now. Especially for your medium sized monitors.

All my lizards eat dubia now. Even the geckos and lace monitors.

Have you ever considered placing an order with our company but hesitated due to certain concerns? Perhaps you were uncertain about our business, given our relatively recent entry into the market (although we have been successfully operating for three years now). Maybe you were deterred by the large quantities required for initial orders. Or possibly, you questioned the advantages of dubia over woodies.

If any of these concerns apply to you, we are offering a special promotion this week. New customers can receive 50 small dubias, complete with free express postage anywhere in Australia, all for $35

Please note that this offer is exclusive to new customers. If, after trying our product, you find it does not meet your expectations (although we are confident that once you try dubia, you will never revert to woodies), your investment will be limited to $35

We would also appreciate it if you could share and tag this post with any of your reptile, bird, or fish enthusiast friends.

Postage for this special will be by Tuesday 25th feb (next week)

Day 1 in Japan!

What a big day!

We went to the Sunshine Aquarium in Tokyo and then went to the Akihabara Electric Town.

Saw some cool reptiles and fish at the aquarium.

One of my favourite amphibians are the Dart frogs and the aquarium had a few varieties!

The tiny little tortoises were probably my favourite thing that I saw today!

If you could have any species of reptile (Exotics included) What would you keep?

I'd definitely have blue tree monitors and probably tortoises.

It was abit sad to see some of the aquariums/enclosures were quite small for the amount of fish/animals in there though.

Tomorrow we are going to a reptile pet shop here in Tokyo! I'm EXTREMELY excited to see all the exotic reptiles.

Stay tuned for day 2 tomorrow!
