I wont be going, was a nightmare for the animals last year.

And no matter what people say cricket tubs will STILL be used for selling reptiles, water and hides will be missing, non feeding CF, pile em hi sell em low......

they will still sell, people will still buy

As Nerys said, is it any wonder others take pot shots at our hobby, when we sit there and blow it up with a granade !

those flip tubs cornish crispa sell are perfect, i know someone who used them for her corn hatchlings she sold last year at one of the shows, i know i will use them if i ever do a show, of corse it depends on the animals, couldnt sell anthing large in them, but for leopard geckos and corn hatchlings ect they are perfect.

The Drill Hall - Ware Sunday 27th July 2008

<B> CG12 9HP

From the midlands, take the M1 J(6A-21) on to the M25.
Come off the M25 at J25 and turn left on to A10 (North) (dual carriageway).
Go past the Hoddesdon turn, go past the Ware turn (414).
Leave the A10 at the Hertford junction, take the B1520 (Stanstead Road) second left.
Go over two mini roundabouts to the roundabout at the bottom of the hill.
Turn right on to the A119 to Ware (about 2 miles).
The speed limits down the hill changefrom 30mph to 40mph with railway lines on your left.
Turn left just past the bus stop and over the level crossing.
There is a free car park on the left and the Drill Hall is on your right (Amwell End).
You cannot do a right turn into Amwell End so it is better to enter from Hertford.

i might go for a little while i agree last year was a nightmare and the reason why im not getting a table as i like my reptiles less deep fried

i agree with the tubs etc at barking this year i will be displaying the geckos in see through lunch boxes with a water dish (tubs large enough for them to move around in and people can still see into them).
im hopeing more people will start using larger tubs and providing water etc as shows go on.
But its up to the public wether they would buy a gecko they can see in a cricket tub or a gecko they might have to have a look for in a larger tub?
personaly i would rather put the animals before a sale

I fully agree stu

Trouble is, some big breeders know the reasons, and do use bigger tubs abroad or they would get thrown out, yet back in good old blighty, they can get away with it.

Animals should be able to turn around and take at least a few steps, and have somewhere to hid, even if its under some tissue, and access to water. Basic conditions as called for by AWA I belive.

But your right, the buying public vote with its cash and all the time they buy, its not going to stop.
