Yep, seen Andrew's lists on here, but I don't think he advertises them on his site.

There is another guy that advertises on the web claiming to deal only in European herps but I have tried contacting him several times but never get a reply

[morbid]

I do only deal Europeans.. But, then againg I only deals what I breed.. ;D

Bri, It's a touch early for European herps to come in but hopefully in the next few weeks we will start to see the first arrive.

Killian, I've delt with the guy advertising european amphibs on c-view and other classifieds and I certainly would not recommend him. He agreed to sell me some newts and set a price he then ignored my e-mails, when I finally got a response he put the price up. Also during e-mail conversation he openly addmited to smuggling a number of European Animals into the country himself and buying the others from a friend of his that collects them while in Europe on business trips. The newts did arrive in good condition but I would not want to deal with him again.

That is just awful!!

I hope that nobody else does any business with him..

Generally, if you look on the for sale on here and check that they are captive bred you should be fine.If an offer sounds too good to be true it generally is as most European herps are protected.

Although many European herps can be quite common in the wild, given there reproductive potential should we need wild caught ??
This is especially true of course for amphibian species. As a breeder it is frustrating when your captive bred young that you have spent time and money rearing, fail to sell because they seem expensive to other people, compared to wild caught adults.

Absolutely right Mark. I should hopefully have quite a variety of different species for sale from this spring onwards, should also be able to offer unrelated groups from pools of around 10 adults per species. If anyone is interested in anything in particular drop me a line with your requirements and I'll see what I can do

Cheers, Alex

;D Don't worry Morbid, not 'counting my chickens' on anything but 'I'll see what I can do'!. Natterjacks are a protected species here, closest I've got to them are the Viridis
