Description:
All vendors agree to comply with the following rules when exhibiting animals at Göteborg Expo.
The organiser reserves the right, when necessary and in consultation with the expo’s animal welfare officer, to remove vendors who violate the rules below.
No animals that are prohibited under Swedish legislation may be present at the expo.
All vendors are required to provide information on the animal’s care, etc., in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Swedish Animal Welfare Authority’s regulations and general guidelines (DFS 2014:17) concerning the keeping, breeding and sale of animals intended for companionship and hobby purposes. (See link at the bottom.)
When selling an animal, the vendor must provide a breeder’s certificate containing the following information:
The animal’s scientific name (and Swedish common name, if one exists).
Contact details for the buyer, seller and/or breeder.
Breeder details must be presented to the organiser upon request.
Date of birth, where available.
Sex, where available.
Date of transfer.
Any listing status of the animal (for example, CITES listing).
Animals that are clearly stressed or show clinical signs of illness must be removed from the table and placed where they will not be disturbed by visitors. The organiser may require a vendor to remove animals where there is reason to do so, for example if there is suspicion that an animal has been wild-caught.
Animals may not be handled outside their container or tub during the expo. If repacking or similar handling is necessary, contact the expo inspectors.
Reptiles, with the exception of smaller aquatic turtles (over 10 cm), must be housed individually. The size of containers for aquatic turtles must be adapted to the number of individuals.
Containers may only allow visibility from one side.
The container must have an internal volume of at least 1.5 decilitres. Animals must be able to turn around without difficulty and rest in a normal body position. The container’s shortest side or smallest diameter must be at least:
1.5 times the snout-to-vent length for lizards and amphibians;
0.3 times the snout-to-tail-tip length for snakes; and
2 times the carapace length for turtles.
The height must be adapted to the species’ size and behaviour.
Containers must include furnishings that provide security and also allow transport. They must be adapted to the species with regard to humidity, temperature and lifestyle. For example, fully aquatic animals must be kept in aquatic conditions; semi-aquatic animals on semi-moist substrate; and other animals must have species-appropriate substrate and furnishings.
Furnishings should be arranged so that visitors can observe the animals relatively easily.
Vendors selling species whose temperature requirements differ from the venue temperature (21–27 °C) must have equipment to measure and ensure the correct temperature. Equipment to measure humidity must also be available when selling species with specific humidity requirements.
Species that normally occur in Sweden’s native fauna must have complete documentation proving that they are captive-bred, together with the breeder’s name and contact details.
It is strictly prohibited to shake or tap on animal containers.
No fur-bearing animals are permitted in the venue.
Animals bred to have a markedly abnormal appearance or structural changes, such as scaleless reptiles, are not permitted at the expo. Different colour morphs are, however, fully permitted.
Venomous animals
Venomous animals may only be sold in the designated area of the venue.
Animals must be individually packaged in double containers and displayed and sold in that manner. Alternatively, if several venomous animals are to be sold, they may be individually packaged in single containers and then displayed in a larger display box. When selling, it is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that animals are individually packaged in double containers and taped so that they cannot bite or spit through ventilation holes or similar openings.
Containers must be clearly marked with the word “VENOM” and the species name.
Venomous animals may only be sold by and to persons aged 18 or over.
Venomoids are not permitted at the expo.
Other information
For CITES Appendix B-listed animals, a certificate of origin must be included as documentation.
Under the exemption granted to the expo by the Swedish Board of Agriculture, vendors must familiarise themselves with the following information regarding legislation, animal welfare, species protection and disease control.
