I do this every year, plan to come back and get it if I dont see another one I like better, and then walk round in a mood cos I should have bought the first one but end up with none cos they are all gone! Missed out on a baby bairds rat I wanted last year this way.

We normally come up from Reading the night before and stay at The Park Inn which is about a mile from the show and yes kids are allowed in as long as they are with an adult

Kids are very welcome, after all they are the next generation of reptile keepers.
You don`t say how old yours are but if you have a push chair leave it in the car or you will just get stuck in the crowded isles and see nothing.

judging by what people are saying all the cool/unusual snakes get bought and taken away in the first hour or so? it would be cool if instead of it being just a big shop they made a real "show" out of it so if someone wanted to buy a snake they just put a sold sticker on it and picked it up at the end of the day. so everyone would get a look.
I mean i dont no how varied the snakes you get are having never been to such an event. the closest i can imagine is a tattoo convention? tho im not sure a reptile show would be as big? or is it? also will there be venomus? how many snakes are brought too such an event roughly? 50? 100? 1000? 1billion? this thread is the first ive heard of it so pardon my ignorance and all the questions.
