The focus: Experts meet at the ÖGH reptile day in St. Pölten

On September 28, 2024, the seventh ÖGH Reptiliertag took place in St. Pölten in St. Pölten, an event that attracted numerous experts and reptile lovers. In a number of ten informative lectures, renowned institutions commented on topics such as attitude, breeding and protection of reptiles. This conference offers a valuable opportunity for experts and hobby terrarians to exchange ideas about the latest developments and experiences in herpetology.

One of the highlights was the idea of impressive insights into the reptile world, including the fascinating Styrian hornotter and experiences from Morocco. Institutions such as the Schönbrunn Tiergarten and the Nockalm reptilezoo shared their latest findings that delighted the audience. Participants had the opportunity not only to inform themselves, but also to discuss each other and to establish contacts. This promotes networking among those interested in herpetology and helps to expand knowledge about reptiles.

diverse topics and exciting lectures

The expert days were all about the enthusiastic reptile friends who could look forward to diverse topics. There was a lot to discover from biology to breeding methods. In particular, the different perspectives and international experiences that were presented caused stimulating discussions among the participants. Many of them appreciated the opportunity to interact directly with the lecturers and clarify their own questions.

A central component of the reptile's day was the special exhibition "Animal Mobil. Nature in motion", which was brought closer to the participants on a guided tour. This exhibition deals with mobility and the various types of locomotion in the animal kingdom and rounded off the event. After an intensive day full of information, the reptile day ended with a social get -together in a nearby inn, where the participants could get to know each other during a relaxed exchange.

The reptile days of the ÖGH have now established themselves as an integral part of the herpetological community. The enthusiasm among the professional reptile holders and the hobbyists are unbroken, which shows how important such platforms are for the exchange of knowledge. These events motivate reptiles to be responsible and promote understanding and appreciation for these often misunderstood animals.
