There are quite a few UK shows but nothing as big as overseas.
A lot of the UK shows are fine if you are after corns boas and geckos and a few others in smaller ammounts.
The European ones have just about everything you could think of from frogs, corns, royals of every morph you can think of right up to a large selection of DWA.
Once you have been to a european one you loose interest in the UK ones, hence I go to several a year in Europe.

went via the eurotunnel.
It is very easy to bring them back if you go by car but it is much harder if going by plane.

I might go one year if I can find some cheap flights, is it like the biggest rep show in the world? |

Thats cool, i mean how easy it is to get them in, is that the same for reps from the USA?
did you drive or fly? does it take long to get there? |

You dont need to have them checked to bring them over.
If they are on cites apendix b then you will need a receipt from the seller saying they are captive bred. If cites apendix a you will need the full cites paperwork and a receipt.
That is all you need to bring them back.
Over the last few trips I have brought back pygmy chams, millipedes, dartfrogs, scorpions, corns, retics, burmese, tortoise etc and only ever had receipts from the seller.

Looks like heaven lol.
I was a bit curious about the logistics of getting them back and also all those people walking round and the animals constantly being on show? Although I'd love to see it, wouldn't it stress them out? |

So do you need some kind of paperwork to say they are healthy then? |

Did you get anything?
How would you get them back into this country if you brought from there?
You bring them back with you by car/coach on the ferry or the tunnel.
Yes I got a few things, dartfrogs,tortoise and accessories.
I was very tempted by Bob Clark and a few others for retics and burms but decided to wait till September.

Would that not really stress out those snakes with all those people looking at them and stuff?

Cheers.
Doncaster is nowhere near the size, there is about 700 tables in 5 rooms including a hot's room and about 12000+ people, you couldnt even fit the ammount of tables in the entire of the Donny building.
There is just about everything you could think of for sale there a lot of which is way cheaper than over here.
These pics were taken near the end of the show while it was VERY quiet and shows a very small part of 1 of the rooms.
