Well was supposed to work today but way too hot for plastering so took a drive down to the show with the family...after nearly collapsing,not from the heat,but from the £5 per adult entry charge I wandered over to see Scott wilting in the heat..lol Laughing

Everyone looked roasted and thankfully it wasn't jam packed.There was a fairly decent display of animals there although some looked obviously stressed by the heat!Met up with a few old faces and was nearly tempted into buying some cracking looking bullsnakes but refrained from doing so..lol Laughing

Not a bad show at all but the heat didn't help in my opinion and pretty sure if it was cooler the numbers would have been higher through the doors.
So who got what today if you went?..

Sorry but a 500mile round trip to see this..........mmmh!!

Too TTOOO hot and not enough to see.

Way too hot for many herps which were very stressed and a bad advert for herp shows!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

Sorry if this upsets anyone but it was average at best.

Far too hot for most amphibians so if you bought any keep an eye on them esp newts and sals. Slightly dominated by leopard gecko's..

I thought the show was 'OK', a few of the usual faces, WAY too hot.

I thought the yemens that were available looked too small to be sold.

Came back with a Pastel Female Royal, a High Gold Male Royals and some Spiders (8 legged!)

As it was only an hour from me I cant complain!
