Anyone else think Basildon was not very good?

It was alright if you wanted a snake or a leo but overall I thought it was not very good.

From what ive heard even prices on spiders were v.simular to shop prices with only a few quid knocked off.

most of the english shows have snakes and leos most of them dont have spiders either,
most people know that anyway.
surely if your after something out of the ordinary you would pre-order it if possible

I love the shows, chatting to all the people and seeing all the nice geckos and snakes. Normally find some stunning stuff of the usual breeders. Gutted that i couldnt go.

Just out of interest what was you after that was not there?

I belive Avathran was bringing down special orders of Pigmy Hedgehogs and others were bringing pre-orders for other people too. So yeh its a chance to pick up special orders + other stuff at the show. Its always normally beardies,leos and corns at most shows anyway.

So its possible (well as long as the right people are going).

Were all price high?

I just thing that people should support the hobby and not sg it off at every given opportunity. Then when it has all gone they will be one of the first to complain that nothing is available.

I have never understood how people can complain about all aspects of the shows (halls, heat, variety of animals available) but do nothing about it. I truly believe everyone should get behind the hobby and make it as exceptable as it is in Europe and then the events should improve. No one can say that the second Doncaster show was not 100% better than the first one.

Sorry for the rant.
