I didnt get much this time but was very tempted by a few retics and burms.

Plus some equiptment.

Plenty of Retics and Burms

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.

You could have a field day in there...

Did you get anything?

How would you get them back into this country if you brought from there?

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

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.

when you bring them back into the country, do you have to declare them to customs?

Reptiles don't need quarantining, but should have a Doctor's check i believe.

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

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?

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.

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.
