Hi guys , i am asking the question :

is reptile fairs banned?

i ask because this reference here

http://www.aboutsnakes.com/uk_snakes.html

seems to think that rep fairs are hounded by activists and that selling of reps is banned at such events

is it true? im am 6 months new to this herpetology and was really interested to find such events to gain and move my knowledge forward and meet like-minded snake and reptile lovers.

My understanding is that commercial reptile fairs are banned but fairs with private breeders are allowed, such as those at Rotherham.
