They have some fantastic turtles... How easy is it to transport them back to the UK - have you done this Graham?

No I haven't, but plenty of people have, you'd have to go over by car as you can't take animals on the plane or on the train (I think on the train but in the car is OK, just not in the carriages).

As far as I know all that is required to import them is proof of their origin, and in the case of European species documentation showing they are CB.

I believe the shop owner will even arrange for them to be taken to Calais for collection, saving the trip to Paris and back, obviously he makes a charge for this!

Trouble is the species you're looking for are rarely available in the UK, and very expensive when they are, Calais isn't exactly far, the place has what you want, and their prices are good.
