The Ontario Reptile and Aquatics Expo is an event which allows individuals that have the same enthusiasm and passion for herpetoculture and aquaculture to gather in one location to share their experiences, their history and their concerns for the animals they all enjoy working with. "Herpetoculture" a word pegged by the late Tom Huff defined as the science and or keeping of reptiles. As is the definition of “Aquaculture”. At one time a sub ground hobby the keeping of reptiles, it has now become one of the fastest growing areas within the pet world. With this growth level also comes a much larger responsibility to the animals in which we care for.
I'm looking forward to seeing you It's been awhile eh.
I'm surprised you're still online, I figured you'd be driving...or are you coming down tommorrow?
Back to the expo: It should be a pretty good one. I'm definately going, this time as a buyer LOL.... and I'll be at the Sept. one vending.
June and Sept are my fav. shows....I've never missed a June one, except for last year...(some dum dum decided to get married LOL)
So if ya haven't been to a show, the June one is a pretty good starter There's usually a good selection, although its still early for corns but you can get other breeders holdbacks
Even just for a day out with the family... The insect guys will be there ( pinned bugs) and also the Aquatics part of it.
I'm looking forward to seeing you

I'm already down in Guelph. We arrived Friday evening around 7 pm and are staying at my daughter's. I always need the extra day to stock up on supplies...aspen, rodent food, rodent seed, ya know...all the stuff that is too costly to ship in. I was out of delis too for the show...general restock for supplies just to attend the expos. Jeff and I call it our working holiday when we come to Mississauga...
See you soon.
Folks, this show promises to be one of the best yet. The house is full...it's booked solid. Some of the vendor's are offering Father's Day discount and a little birdie told me the first 100 Dad's thru the door are getting a special gift from Grant...the organizer.
Rain or shine...it's a great outing for the family.
