Default Getting reptiles from abroad

Hi everyone

You know how you can go to the HAMM show (Germany) in the car and bring back reptiles quite freely? Is there anywhere else you can do this?

that seems unfair to u.k. herpers since herps are cheaper here. getting one from the u.s. or say, spain, should be the same. is it u.k. laws or u.s. laws that make it expensive? anyone?

Im not saying it IS, but ive heard plenty of people complain over it...I think its probably only worth doing if you spend a few thousand punds or more....
One reason could be because you have to get them flown over, rather than drive over and get them and what-not.

put it this way....i have done it twice and both times ive had to put down a mininum order of $1000-$1500 worth of geckos. I've then had to pay an extra 3-4 hundred POUNDS to get them over here...so it's worked out £700-800 a time for me...yeah im getting gorgeous leo's but its VERY VERY VERY expensive...
