Garters at Doncaster show

[ScimitarX]

Hi guys,

Thought you'd like to know that we just recieved our latest I.H.S newsletter and Alan Francis has an ad saying hes gonna be at Doncaster selling cb07 t.s.infernalis, t.s.concinnus, Melanistic (black with white throat) t.s.sirtalis, t.c.ocellatus and flame t.sirtalis. All are £75 per pair.

Im seriously tempted by the infernalis.

[Gijs & Sabine]

I can tell you they ARE very nice, Claire ;) They'll probebly become more blue than most infernalis in Europe. We've got a pair from Alan as well :D

[ScimitarX]

great, ive emailed him asking for a pair, cant wait for him to reply.

I have seen Alans' infernalis, they are indeed very beautiful! I am collecting 1.1 melanistic sirtalis, 1.1 cyrtopsis ocellatus and 1.1 concinnus off him before the show...I can't wait!

Did the newsletter give any indication of what else might be available at the show?

[ScimitarX]

Theres someone advertising various boids, but thats about it on the newsletter. Although from the monthly meetings we go to, i get the impression that theres gonna be more people there than the there was at the same show earlier in the year.

I will be there on Chloes stall selling florida blue garters, and Chloe has a whole lot to sell including canadian plains..!! exciting!

I will be selling canadian plains garters, common boa's, rat snakes, and 1.2 sub adult eastern ribbons, breeding pair of leopard gecko's, european green tree frogs and baby african land snails and a few plastic/material vines and stuff.

I guess the flames cost more than 75 pound per pair...

I believe his well coloured ones were £100- a pair. But they've all gone.

[Lulu Bennett]

its on the 2nd of sept isn't it? i was after infernalis but i might wait for next year and get some high coloured ones off him. i wont get paid from work until the 14th and the show is only a week away so if i can go then no snakes for me :(. i will try and go but nothing defo at the moment. does anyone have the postcode and entry price?

[ScimitarX]

I wrote pound but was thinking euro.Eventhough I think 75 - 100 pounds for a pair of flames is not extreme.
