Since we now have several guys who actually spend time in Asia I figured I'd take advantage and get some info.

1) From your experience which asian countries have a reptile trade, and what kind. For instance, China has a snake and turtle trade for food. In addition, there is at least some export (from at least Hong Kong) for the pet industry. How do other asian countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Burma) compare. I've seen a few exporters in Malaysia and Indonesia but are there also importers there who sell "exotics" like american herps. I've seen japanese web-sites that include lots of corn snakes, king snakes, ball pythons, etc. What about ROK and Taiwan. What do they have and what do they want? Have you ever seen a website that lists exporters/importers for these places? What are the wildlife and animal laws like in these places?

These are the kind of questions I have.

Thanks for anything you can contribute.
Regards
John
