hi, i have a few questions to ask about the doncaster show as i havnt been before;
-is it a big show (are there loads of stalls)
-do they sell equipment (like substrate,bulbs,hide boxes exc.) if so are these normally cheaper than the RRP?

lastly, who is going, and what do you expect/hope to be buying?

Moving this to the show section...

-is it a big show (are there loads of stalls)

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.

The shows aren't designed to show rare / unusual things, they're designed for local private breeders to get together and sell their livestock... the majority of reptiles bred in the UK are corns, leos, beardies.. followed by boas, royals etc. cos those are the most popular, it's inevitable that they will make up the majority of the stock at these shows.

ahh, so what the markets flooded with, will appear there so plenty of royals also. i was hoping to see some rare species though some nice morphs will just be as good, do oyu know if your allowed to take pictures? (without flash)

royals. boas etc not so bad.. corns.. noooooo.. yawn!

i think that pet shops have realised the market is becoming flooded and these type arnt worth it to the pet shop owner.
