Your vision of the Herp Hobby in France

I was wondering how French Herp hobbyists were considered abroad.The Germans,the Dutch and the American among other nationalities are well-known and considered for their herp knowledge,for the events they organize,for vivarium items production,for the international reputation of some of their breeders,but what about the French?Don't be afraid to be honest and give answers with what you really think of us.

Well ive not been into the reptile world that long really.. only started researching properly about a year ago.. and i know very little of what its like outside the UK and America.. but ive heard of breeders in most of Europe but not France... so thats all i can tell you right now.

I'd agree with that, I hear a lot about the Belgian, German, Dutch and American breeders (even the odd italian one) but can't recall ever being told of a french breeder. Im sure there must be plenty out there, but their reputations dont seem to carry across the water the same.

The Germans and Americans are probably the big boys in my eyes.

I'm most familiar with American breeders, since I live there.

So what do you think of American breeders,as far as their skills and ethical approach is concerned?
