Has anyone ever been to the Barking Reptile Fair... I have never been to a fair before so want to know a bit about it... Do they sell most species of snakes or just the really popular ones?... What sort of prices are there?...


Thanks...

Varies wildy as to who's at the tables tbh. Mainly popular types of snakes and their morphs, corns/royals/boas/kings/hognose etc. The occasional oddity, I have seen boiga and racers at shows (though only the odd one). Prices are generally at breeders prices so a good deal to be had IMO. Worth a nose if nothing else.

It is technically a breeders meeting, not a show... so you're not going to see tons of rare and unusual stuff. You're going to see the majority of animals being the things that are popular, easily available, and/or easily bred. The restrictions on traders mean that the very large breeders, and shops (who are not necessarily mutually exclusive), are often disqualified from a table... because the UK shows are very small in comparison to the EU shows, some of the big money breeders may also not consider it worth their time to spend the day out..... but it's definitely still a good day out and you should see more available than in most shops, at certainly competitive breeder prices

So saying people do sell surplus and it's entirely possible that some rare/unusual/exciting things will crop up.

It's only a few quid to get in so worth a nosey if it's not too far to travel, you never know if something will catch your eye.

The barking show last year was extremely busy.You could hardly move for hours and there was a fairly good ramge of reptiles there as well.Mainly royals corns and leopard geckos but there were also a fair few tarantulas and scorps etc and other bits and pieces.I would say if you are localish or dont mind the travel time then it is well worth a visit

I enjoyed it last year. Looking forward to it this year, Even if it is on my dads birthday! Roll on the show! lol.

Hope you all manage to come to the 'meet' after the show! Basically some pub somewhere with a garden so we can eat, drink and talk to eachother! Last year it was in Hornchurch (a little way from Barking) Hopefully this year we can make it closer to the show!
