Default Hamm Breeders Review (Positive)

Is anyone interetested in contributing to a thread with a positive review of breeders / retailers at Hamm that stood out as being helpful or informative, or those you bought animals from that are healthy and exceed expectations? Thought it might help as a reference for future shows.... would like to keep this as positive as possible though please


Mike Wilbanks / Bob Clark USA Constrictors Unlimited Bob Clark Captive Bred Reptiles - Main Page
Bought Royals & Boas. Ordered from these guys in advance via Mike. Was the second time I've bought from them. Animals were in excellent condition, fantastic prices and I will definitely be going back for more next time!

Steve Sykes (Bjorn Aye's Table) USA Geckos Etc. Herpetoculture - High Quality, Healthy Leopard and Knobtail Geckos
Bought Leopard Geckos. Huge healthy good looking animals, very well organised paperwork/collection and nice guy all around!

D'Haenens Gerrit (Belgium) index
Bearded Dragons. Got absolutely stunning blood red bearded dragons from this breeder. 7 weeks old and huge. Eating like absolute maniacs already (got them back on monday, have already eaten 100 hoppers, 2 boxes of mealworms and about 500 boxes of crickets between the 10 in 4 days!) All the dragons came with certificate of parentage and DOB which was really nice to see. Really nice guy and a good team of friendly people at his table. Spoke English too

Ray Hine (UK) In the business of breeding reptiles for over 25 years
Leopard Geckos. Didn't speak to Ray direct but worked out a good deal with a lady at his table, and the leos are all excellent condition

Freek Nuyt - Freek Nuyt captive bred reptiles

Didn't go to Hamm this time around but I've bought from Freek previously at Hamm on more than one occasion and have always been 100% satisfied.

Paul Harris - UK Pythons - Captive bred pythons by Paul Harris

One of the most respected breeders in the industry. Got my black-heads from him. Top notch breeder!

I've been acquainted with both Bob Clark and Ray Hine for about 15 years now. Better and more trustworthy businessmen would be tough to find in this hobby/industry. They are 2 of the most professional breeders around.

I got Leopard Gecko's from Gecko ETC and Ray Hine at Hamm this year. Steve from Gecko's ETC was a really nice guy he gave me loads of information and was only too happy to answer any questions i had. All the gecko's he was selling were huge and really good quality. Ray Hine had loads of choice (he had about 3 tables) and all of the gecko's were really big and healthy.
