i went to june and sept last year and much prefered june despite what i was told

Would also like to know...Do they sell many lizard/turtles?

i went to both the june and september Doncaster shows. I also went to Daytona this year and i have to say, considering we are a piddly tiny little country and the USA is so big.......Doncaster in september was pretty bloody impressive. Doncaster didnt have the same choice of stock (obviously) but as a stand alone event its amazing just how much its come in the last few years. Deffinatley worth a visit even if its just to look and meet people.

September is bigger than June but both are of a good size to find something you like. A lot of the more common species of snake and lizard available such as corns, royals, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, etc. There are a few choice tables that have some lovely odd things, the good bargains and the rare things tend to be snapped up early. But you can get the best deals late in the day if you haggle. Cracking bacon butties and it is generally very crowded in parts and gets a wee bit toasty. If you want a big big show then be prepared to go to Hamm, but I must say I was actually a little disappointed I couldnt get some of the odder varieties I wanted at December Hamm.
