Mostly reptile people aka herpers. They tend to distance themselves from tortoise people... for some reason... but... they are coming around with more and more getting into chelonians.
It would be an experience for anyone who keeps reptiles to check out.

It says on their website its the 18th September but when I looked on Doncaster Dome it did not have it advertised so I might call them to confirm its on, I dont really want to drive up to Donny for it not to be on.

We went to the one in September last year, and to the one a couple of months back. A German breeder had a lot of tortoises, some WC but mainly CB. In particular, there was a gorgeous Hermann that I just had to cuddle!

sounds like a good number of 'us' are going. I know they have a nice pub at the dome... maybe we could set up a time to meet.
