Do you need CITES to keep these or bring them into the UK?
I have reserved some at hamm and want to ensure im ok to bring them in
Thanks

You will need a statement document, which includes name and address of the Breeder confirming that the animals are indeed captive bred animals.
The European breeders know this very well, and the documentation is sometimes also checked by the Staff at Hamm.
I have seen evidence of this, and action to take animals off stands where it is felt that the protocols have been compromised.
