Reptile Fair Market?

[aubrey]

Hi, I have three ball pythons at the moment and am planning on getting two beardies in the near future. I was told by a friend, who knows another reptile keeper he goes to Germany to reptile fairs. Has anyone heard of these? I have done some research on google and discovered that fairs in the UK are illegal but just wondered if anyone has experience of them? Are they just in Germany, or France or other parts? I would like to go to one, but don't really want to go to Europe. They sound fascinating and would be a good place to do further reasearch or purchase an animal. Thanks for your help. Regards Aubrey.

Ummmm...where do YOU live? There's tons of reptile shows/expos in the US and Canada as well. But if you're in another part of the world, I dunno. But if you tell us where you are, we can see if we can find something that doesn't require a passport to attend.

Sorry, silly me! I am based in Sussex, UK (South of England) about an hour from London. Thanks very much for your help.

Being unfamiliar with UK geography, I'm not entirely sure how helpful these are....but also, being from Texas, it seems to me like nothing in England is all that far to drive...
