Default reptile shows

Had the RSPCA here today for a formal visit to approve our rescue, which they did. But we was talking about reptile shows etc. A story came up about someone selling green iguanas over 15 years ago now and the pitch wasn't too great to say the least. But what I am curious with is do reptile shows still allow the sale of iggies?

I believe one of the essex shows has now banned the sale of them aswell. I cant remember which one it was though. They should be banned at all IMO.

not allowed to sell them at barking this yr, as well as burms and retics over 6ft, under 6ft at the time of sale is ok, but not over 6ft, and also no monitors over 4ft i think it is.
