I think Houten is my favourite show, more room to move about, didnt make this one as it was too close to Hamm to do the drive twice in a week. There was 3 halls at the last Houten, one of them was for hots, or do you mean 3 halls and the hots room? Very Happy

There where 3 halls like the 'main' hall. So as you can imagine, it was quite big!
There wasn't any room for venomous animals this time.

Had a great show! Met a lot of people and sold everything but two leopardgeckos.
Only bought an UV-light and some crickets...

Hamm, here we come!

I heard that the only show that is offering a place for venomous snakes is Snakeday. Houten stopped with selling those, but i saw some boiga's yesterday.

And was indeed very big and not even everybody new that there was a third hall... And I realized that it is not easy to carry a box with animals with a broken finger on one hand.. Shocked

Houten was ok but it seemed that most people were saving there money for Hamm as we didn't sell much lol. but got some nice leo's and mammals.

Where was your stand? I guess I overlooked it.
There where two really cool tables. One with Strophurus and oedura tyroni and one with just about every gecko on my wishlist (strophurus, oedura, uroplatus, rhacodactylus)

Ah...yeah...In the third room...
I usually walk by any tables with corns or other constrictors Embarassed
Mainly airplants...You where against the wall?
Must say I had a great day. Looked like many people where looking for Cilliatus. We had 6 on the table that where sold around 11.
Acanthurus looked popular as well, everybody was looking for females Wink
I didn't notice that leos where bought a lot. I had two on the table and both went home with me. Doesn't matter. They are lovely, dont mind keeping them Very Happy
The corns went okay. A friend of mine had 10 with him. I believe he sold 5 of them. An other friend of mine even sold some climacophora! Nobody seems to like 'm.

Sadly, there weren't much gartersnakes. Mine where all reserved, so dont really know how they went...

I saw a few garters, they are just amazing.
I was so surprised that someone was offering Tribolonotus novaeguineae, it is quite hard to get some specimens so after counting my money and 20 euro of the price I could afford the last female.
But after all it was a nice day, bought to much.... walked around a few times and talked to to many people
