🦎🐍 SHOW & TELL… BUT MAKE IT H**PETOLOGICAL! 🐸🐢

📅 Friday 4th September

📍 Lions Club Hall, Hastings River Drive Port Macquarie

⏰️ 7pm

It’s time to bring along your reptilian friend and show them off! 😍

🦎 Bring your scaly, slithery, shelly or slightly suspicious-looking mate and tell us a little bit about them!

And because we like to keep things wild… 🌿🦊

🎤 SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER! 🎤
Our very own group member Isla Lewis will be giving a presentation on…

🦊 THE FERAL EUROPEAN RED FOX! 🦊
A furry little menace that may not have scales, but definitely deserves a spot on the “Australia’s Most Unwanted” list! 😂

Come along, bring your reptile, bring your questions and bring your best “well, actually…” herpetology facts!

🐍 SCUTES. SCALES. SHELLS. SHOW & TELL. 🐢

NOTE: Only current financial members are able to bring their reptiles.

🐍 JUST A LITTLE REMINDER… 🐍

If you’re thinking about grabbing a vendor spot for the 2027 Reptile Expo… this is your sign! 👀

Spots are slithering away FAST 🐍💨 and it’s officially first in, best dressed when it comes to choosing your favourite location!

Don’t be that vendor sitting in the corner saying,
"I should’ve emailed earlier…"

Because by then… the good spots will have shed their availability! 😂🐍

🦎🐍 THE NEW 2026/2027 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS EMERGED FROM BRUMATION! 🐍🦎

After extensive basking, questionable hissing, a few territorial disputes and one or two suspicious shed cycles… we can finally introduce your 2026/2027 Executive Committee! 🎉

These dedicated reptiles have been carefully selected to keep the enclosure running, the scales turning and the herpetological chaos under control. 😂

🦎 President: Stuart Johnson

🐍 Vice President: Lachlan Davis

🐢 Secretary: Alyce Lewis

🐊 Treasurer: Brad Lewis

🦎 Committee Members: Alicia Johnson, Jamie Stuart, Bec Potts, Emily Davis and Rachel Riddel

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has volunteered their time, knowledge and questionable reptile-related opinions to help make the year ahead a great one. ❤️

Here’s to another year of scales, tails, education, conservation, community… and the occasional escapee! 😂🐍

Welcome to the new committee — may your sheds be clean, your enclosures escape-proof and your coffee strong. ☕🦎
