Re: avalible to the uk?
well the problem will be the import / export permits....
you can talk to rich next week after x-mas is over and see what He says...
I know he has posted in the past of the issue ... CITES permits can be a pain!
also you would want to check with your customs folks on how they would handle the inspection and holding process....
you want the critters in a running tank as soon as possible...

Re: avalible to the uk?
Thanks for the Kudos!
I used to ship all over the world, pre 9-11.
Was not a problem at all, I successfully shipped to South Africa, Lebanon,Belgium, many times, France, Germany, Iceland a few times....the list goes on....BUT now, it is all but impossible, unless you have very big pockets, and a lot of time to wait for permits....like many months.
Permits and fees exceed $600.00US for each shipment, and are near impossible to obtain in a timely fashion.
So it became so problematic, I gave up on shipping rock international, however live sand and critters can be shipped without the long wait, and less permits are involved, about $250.00 each shipment.
Wish it was like the old days for yall across the pond, but it just not like it used to be!
