ooo choices, BD or bci BD or bci BD or bci.............

Define loads? Last year there were less than 50 I would guess, but I didn't count. I guess it depends what you're expecting.... I would define loads as what Hamm gets etc.

-do they sell equipment (like substrate,bulbs,hide boxes exc.) if so are these normally cheaper than the RRP?

Sometimes a local retailer has a table but mostly this usually seems to be livefood... people do sell second hand equipment and bits and bobs. If it's new it might be a few quid less than the RRP but I wouldn't go expecting huge savings.. it's a breeders meeting and as such is mostly for livestock.
thanks for that, duno why but i expected it to be like hamm but to a smaller scale

yeah, you dont get much around here. ahh well im going with my dad so ill have to see what he will let me get. i have 2 spare vivs on the ready though and hinted ever so slightly
dad said- why dont you sell that viv
me said- i could just keep it and use it
dad said- for what though
me said- ill buy somert from donny

ive told my mum im getting a bci though, dont think she believes me, though they wont be too bothered id imagine they just worry bout my room which is tiny as it is, will look like a pet shop (ahh happy thoughts, pet shop with a matress in the middle, everything inside is yours hahahaha) but seriously, no they wont mind as i clean my pets/change them/feed them so they dont cause any hassle to my parents whatsoever

ifact when i went to joshes i didnt even say i was getting a corn, and just brought it back and shown my dad who was in the kichen, he smiled and said 'very nice'
