hamm & Breeders expo

[peterrobbo]

Hi,
as I am having difficulties getting the newt and salamander species I desire, I am thinking of going to the herp shows in Germany. I was wondering if anyone has been to one of these and if so was the number and variety of caudates worth the trip from the UK.

many thanks

Peter

Hi

What species are you after??

Hamm is a fairly good show, long trip though, and you cant guarantee what is going to be there unless you have made a contact in europe and agreed to meet there.
The show in Gersfeld is meant to be good, but i haven't been to that one.

wow, sonic by name and sonic by nature, I never expected to receive a reply so quickly. The species I am after are banded newts, alpine newts, N.kaiseri, and the various sub species of fire salamanders, however this is the top of a rather big list ( including some european lizards, toads etc). I don't have any contacts in europe unfortunately as I am only just returning into caudate keeping. Any help would be much appreciated

All the best

Peter
