I have created this thread to post information regarding dates and venues of reptile shows in the EU in 2008. Please don't use this for just chatting, but if you know of a show that isn't listed here (or if any of my information is incorrect) please add! Some of them are quite small shows but might be useful for people who are in the area.

** Note, I've only managed to sort out Holland / Germany but I know there are a few in Spain which I will hopefully find the details for.

Always check with the website or organisers before travelling far!

anyone no how hard it is to get reptiles bought from other countries back into england i no reps dont need quarintine but would do u need to do

Hi all!

I might add two things

1.) If you are interested in central european reptile shows look at:
www.terraristik.com Veranstaltungskarte

This is usually one of the most complete listing in the german speaking area and around

(Of course you can also enter your own shows if you are an organizer of a reptile expo not yet listed - listings are free)


2.) If you ever wanted to come to beautiful Austria
I do organize the largest reptile shows there.
their size is about 5000m2 with 150-200 visitors - details and complete exhibitors directory can be found at EXOTICA Terraristikbörse mit tausenden Schlangen, Echsen, Schildkröten, Spinnen und Insekten .. Reptilienbörse, Spinnenbörse, Reptilienmesse

The main venue (St. Poelten) is located about 50 kilometres from Vienna which is served by a lot of flights from the UK.

On November 29th and 30th 2008 there is also a pet expo with a large reptile part (saturday snakes, sunday all other herps) on 15.800m2 directly in Vienna so you could combine th expo with a visit to the pre- christmas vienna..

best regards
alex

you can buy reptiles at all of those shows - (but there are also some herp lovers meetings in the calendar where nothing is sold but if its called "Börse" then you can buy reptiles)
