Demise of the amphibian pet trade

I clearly remember a time when the UK herp trade was bursting at the seams with a huge variety of amphibian livestock. As we all know, weather changes have not been kind to our slippery friends. And it can't just be the advent of CITIES that has limited availability so much, either (I certainly don't condone wild caught animals). The question must be, why are breeders no longer providing us with such a good choice of animals? Is it that snakes and other herps are commanding such high prices? Are amphibians just going out of fashion? I can't provide a comprehensive answer. However Lord Fishy was set up with a single aim in mind. To create the largest UK database of amphibians available to the pet trade. Be sure to check back often as we scour the four corners of Britain to locate what's available, when and where.
