I bought

32 Leopard geckos
some Albino Burmese pythons
2 corns
And some other bits and pieces lol.

Cheers for an excellent trip guys spot on besides Becci's smelly feet down stairs and Jakes constant talking lmao.

I had a wicked time. I got a blizzard leo (pics to come).

I would definately go again.

Thank you to everyone who organised the trip and helped.

I didn't see many people off RFUK, only 3 or 4 I think, and was running around like a mad beaver all day trying to pick up all my pre-arranged stuff and then do a bit of bargain hunting. I was packing my car in front of the coaches before you left, I saw some of the tshirts but you guys were all loaded by the time I started packing my polyboxes.

We picked up royals - albino, pastels, bumblebee, boas - pair dh sunglow, pair salmon, 5 hogg island.. almost bought some longicauda but didn't in the end. Beardies, got an absolutely stunning adult leucistic male for my girlies, and got some blood red beardies to grow on and a few to sell... geckos I got my 5 raptor breeding group and a few other little ones. A few spiders, but not too many thankfully And a couple of corns, of course... couldn't come back without them. Then just the odd bits and pieces... and some glass spider tanks.

Crossing was easy, drive was pleasant enough (cruised at 85mph most of the way, have to love those motorways), show seemed well organised and well attended... (VERY busy at the start but quietened down nicely towards the end so we could haggle properly) wasn't impressed with some of the prices (a lot of high end royals/boas I could get for cheaper from breeders and even shops in the UK this time around) but with it being so early in the season and a lot of the stock being grown on 07, I wasn't really that suprised and still managed to find a few good things, although all our high end stuff was preordered, prepayed with USA breeders. Everything got back in perfect condition and is now settling in nicely.

Would highly recommend Bob Clark / Mike Wilbanks (our 2nd time of a great purchase from them), and Steve Sykes of Geckos etc, first time purchasing from him but won't be the last, best quality leos I've ever seen!

Show was excellent. Again a big shout out to Tony, Steve, their lads and James (Hamish) for the help there and back.
The show was heaving at the start. 7 or 8 of us skipped the que and has some scary German guy shouting at us.

Corn and Royal prices were as you would expect them to be over here. Really had to haggle a bit. Sept I DEF will be taking a couple grand!

Only brought back a couple Tangerine Hondurans and a Hermans Will be more next time I tell you...

quite a show, shame we missed the morning (why we were rushing around heh). I imagine woulda been a lot more relaxed with that extra couple hours (gotta see it all!!) By the time we got to some rooms, some had packed up already. (that's how big it was)
