I don't know Lou, but I doubt it. I guess the stall-holders just bring "their stuff". I think you really need to be there. If you want SFs, you could buy them in advance (from Gijs and Sabine or JewelDragons) and I could collect them for you. For a HUGE service fee!

If you go to "Kleinanzeigen", then to "Schlangen", some of the ads are in English, if not and you're interested in something specific I can translate it for you.

This guy sells them for 100 Euros each, but only as a pair:

James is right, better buy of our lovely forum friends anyway.

Diadophis are usually pretty cheap as imports, but I don't know if anyone breeds them, Lulu. They are pretty easy to keep...plus you have me, I'll help!

Just checked, and I'm paying 80 euros for my SFs.

i have just PM'ed Gijs and Sabine to see if i can reserve some. i really hope thats ok i really am looking forward to this now atleast if i cant get there then i can atleast get some beautiful, sexy, cute snakes hehehehe! sorry a giddy moment i will have a word with manchester P&A to see if they will get any in. are they often sold in shops or am i best going to a private breeder? what is their natural colour because i have noticed a load of diferent colours all very viberant

Ok, I feel I have to make a decision here and sadly it's going to be a sensible one. As much as I'd love to come with you (and thank you very much for the offer of a lift, James ) I feel I might have to stay behind this time. It's not without good reason though... My sister, who lives near Frankfurt is getting married a week later, but I can't just stay on in Germany as I have to get back to collect my kids and have tickets for the train to Bruxelles on Wednesday, 19th of September. Gutted.

But I'd definately like to go another time and I think it would be great if we could meet sometime soon anyway.

If I sorted the money out, how would you feel about doing my shopping for me, too, James? Pretty please?

[adamanteus]

MP&A will never have them, and if they did they would be fortunes!! To see a typical adult browse through Chloes gallery, or type tetrataenia into the search box at the top of this page. X.

sorry james i meant the ringneck when i said this lol i wondered why i couldnt find anything in chloes gallery on them lol

[adamanteus]

Yeah, you see Ringnecks in the shops every now and then. Nearly always wild-caught though.

[Lulu Bennett]

oh i am not interested in WC snakes especially not when there are people that are breeding them. its crule taking more out of the wild when there are already so many that are CB. i will just have to keep my eye out. there are a few new reptile shops opening near me so i will have a look in them and see what i can dig up.
