BTS Exhibition

[Daniel Downes]

Hello new member here , just wanting to know as i have never been to the exhibition, are the dealers that are there just sell trantula equipment and turantulas or do they sell other invertbrates to, thanks

[James Box]

they sell all manner of wonders! from stick insects to scorpions to roaches to mantids to assassin bugs to beetles to hermit crabs...

there is usually a plethora of inverts to choose from! truly amazing!

[James Box]

sorry, forgot to say it before but WELCOME!

Hi and welcome to the forum. As James says the exhibition is full of all sorts of invertebrates. There is a free lecture by Andrew Smith (chairman of the BTS). Competitions where you can enter your spiders and win trophies and meet like minded people from the hobby.

Look forward to seeing you on the day

One last question, would any of the stalls sell the required substrate for beetles, as its a pain to find, cheers lads n ladies, Dan

There is just so much to see and wonderful people to meet.
Your love it...
And welcome to a great forum..

there's usually a trader that for the last two years has been by the door in the first room leading to the second room with bags of this fantastic leaf litter substrate, a pound a bag, as i recall...
so yes, i'd expect everything you need would be obtainable at the show!

[Daniel Downes]

Wow a pound a bag , thats a dam good deal how big are they around, might have to stock up on a years suply lol :P
BTW cheers for the welcome john might see you there :P

And furthermore i just managed to convince my father to get me there even though hes scared of bugs ( dint like my 3 stick insects, he ran ot my bedroom cus of it lol ) but hes slowly getting used to them now, managed to evn old one for about 15 seconds XD
So if u see me there ill be walking round with a bloke that keeps going urrgh at the insects lol XD dam im looking forward to it now ;D

[James Box]

they're not big, but they're a decent portion. it's good value, i reckon. or you can get bricks of coir that expand with water for maybe the same price (as a show discount...most stuff is discounted)
