Hi,

Yeah l do mean the actual species A_G101. What are the top selling species in the UK from retail and private sellers [if there is a distinct difference between the two]. Top ten species per catagory would be ideal, but top five just as helpful.

Cheers
Rory

I can do top 5 as a retailer for me ...

Snakes:
1. Corn Snakes in a variety of morphs.
2. Royal Pythons
3. Rainbow Boas (Brazilian & Columbian being the 2 most popular of those)
4. Dwarf Boa Constrictors (Localities)
5. Western Hognose

With the top 3 really making up 80% or so of snake purchases there.
However, I do not stock any of the "big ones" ie. anything bigger than a common boa which may affect my perceptions.

Lizards:
1. Bearded Dragons
2. Leopard Geckos
3. Yemen Chameleon
4. Chinese Water Dragons
5. Crested Geckos

Amphibians:
1. Green Tree Frogs
2. Fire Bellied Toads
3. Horned Frogs
4. Red Eyed Tree Frogs
5. White's Tree Frogs

Chelonia:
1. Horsefields Tortoise
2. Hermann's Tortoise

I mainly only stock those but I would expect Leopard Tortoises and Red and Yellow Foot Tortoises to feature if I did stock them but have not yet found reliable breeders.

Inverts:
1. Chile Rose Tarantula
2. Emperor Scorpion
3. Mexican Red Knee Tarantula
4. Salmon Pink Tarantula
5. Desert Hairy Scorpion

Don't do hots and have no idea what would feature in the top 5 there but I would think Gaboons would be near the top.
