Depends what you after and what the reptile shop is charging. Shows are generally cheaper as its straight from breeder so cuts out shop based mark up.

Ive had friends pick up Macklott pythons and CRB's for under £20 at shows.

My local charges £49.99 for an Amel cornsnake for example

shows charge £15-£20

When you buy direct from a breeder at shows, they have no mark up like shops.

A show or breeder all the way
