In general are reptile shows cheaper than reptile shops???

[ultimate DM]

i was wondering if the reptile and amphibians being sold at reptile shows r cheaper than the reptiles being sold in reptile shops?

on the majority of time yes, but some people will try and rip you off so you have to have a rough idea of shop price

I know Croydon!!! my old home town!!best thing to do is research prices pop to rep shops, and on-line shops, then you have a rough idea when you go to the shows, we have found shows slightly cheaper but have a bigger selection to the shops, If I was starting from fresh again, I would go straight to a breeder and trust me there are loads on this forum!!what are you thinking of getting?

we have been to most of the shops near stoke and nottingham and doncaster has been way way cheeper than any of them
