I never drive to Hamm now  , I go by plane and taxi Makes it a 1.5 hours journey once we leave the UK airport...infact we get to Hamm and have pizza and beer before most people even drive through France

I've just put together a small list of traders to look out for at the EU shows, they may not always be at every one, but they all have good prices and products that you may not be able to find in the UK;
Traders;
Products:
-Pet Factory - A German company who attend most EU shows, with a wide selection of live plants substrates and specialist foods (especially exotic mammals)
-Dragon - I believe that this is a German company too with excellent products particularly their rain systems and egg laying boxes.
-Namibaterra - Another German company, but they have amazing products for amphibians.
-Exo-Terra - They have a stalls mainly at hamm but are worth a look as you get a chance to see their new products before they are launched.
-Zoo-Med - Same as Exo-Terra
-MS Reptilien - A huge selection of products and very good snake hooks and probes.
-Cork Bark - You won't miss this!!!
-Exotic Design - Very nice Ornaments!!
Breeders:
Snakes -
-Bob Clarke (Boas/Retics)
-Crystal Palace (royals + a few others)
-Ray Hine (royals)
-UK Pythons
-La Ferme Tropical (Everything)
Geckos -
-Ray Hine (Leopard Geckos)
-Crystal Palace (Leo's, Nephurus)
-Many other stalls
Amphibians -
-Rana (Dartfrogs)
-E.N.T (very good equipment and vivs)
Spiders -
-Can't think of the guys name but he has a huge stall!!! you won't miss him lol.
-If you like preserved bugs look out for this stall
If there's anything else please add lol.... so many!!!
