Click on "reptilexpo" for more details,I think this first edition will attract quite a lot of people.

It is organised by ATN (Association Terrariophile du Nord).

Might be easier to list what IS allowed !! LOL

I have a wedding to go to on that weekend i think, is there a way to find out how many tables have been booked? If it's worth it i'll pop over instead of the wedding (yes, i'm looking for any excuse)

Allowed:
-Most non-venomous colubrids outside our territory:corn snakes,ratsnakes,kingsnakes,diadem snakes,african house snakes...
-All pythons and boas except those over 10 ft. adult length,genus Corallus forbidden,as well as most Epicrates sp.
-Most frogs
-Most newts and salamanders except very poisonous ones and those from France and overseas territories
-Lizards:all geckonids,agamids except spiny-tails,iguanids,monitors:it depends on the species,ex:acanthurus allowed,prasinus subject to a special permit.
Yes we have very,very complex rules and laws and it's a mess even for us here.
The best thing to do to know how many tables there will be is to e-mail them ,on the link I put above.
