The only problem there is a lot of people may want large amounts or reps bought back and this will limit space severely as I only drive an astravan. If may be £80.00 per pre supplied box from me with different sizes at different prices. I know this may make it complicated but it wouldn't be worth it if one person wants a lot of animals bringing back but would expect the same price

I've cleared all this with Animal Health and they are happy that my licence will cover me for the trips in the UK and the EU. CITIES will still apply as it would do for UK > UK deliveries.

I wouldn't take a job of 20-30 reptiles or 300 inverts as I would not be able to transport them humanly in an Astravan no matter what the money.

This service would primarily be aimed at the average hobbiest and small breeders so maybe a couple of animals per person etc.

Brilliant idea and that's a great price too!

I've seen a few reps I'd love from the Hamm show but money just won't allow at the moment If you decide to do another run next year then I'm sure I'll be one of your customers

Would you operate a find service while there or would you need us to arrange the reptiles to be kept for us and paid for. If i paid you the money and if you found some would you be able to purchase for me?

not answerin for steve but i would imagine it would have to be pre arranged an paid for, as if all customers wanted steve to find their reps n pay for them it would definately make the expedition a lot longer and more complicated i suppose it would all depend on how many people requested this service

i might be callin on your services steve if i can find somethin hehe

also i think £80 per box is a fair price, i think some could take advantage if it was per person and so wouldnt be worth all steves hard work
