Default Hamm or Houten?

Hi All,

I'm looking to go to a european show at the end of next year as I will be after some rare reptiles and was wondering what is the better show out of the two? (In otherwords which will have the biggest selection) and is there any difference with the dates because I notice that Hamm seems to have about 4 or 5 shows a year so would they all be as big of are some smaller at different times of the year?

Thanks

Simple, go to both, they often end up on the same weekend. Hamm will probably have the bigger selection but the super rare stuff is still hard to come by unless you pre book it, but then again depends on what your after??

Both Hamm's 10 times the size of Houten but Houten is cheaper less stressfull and genrally friendlier I find.
So visit both you'll find hidden rare gems at both

My vote is for Houten (I went to snakeday with coach to the show in October). Relaxed/stress free and a buyers paradise
