SteeveB wants wildcaught monitors of new, undescribed species, whose status in the wild is still unknown. Many of these species come from islands and their populations could potentially become depleted once the pet trade discovers them and they become popular.

Yes I want a few of the new species, but not at all cost!
Aim against the fact that some (no names) import 50 heads then name them prior to any study, knowing this will bring a ban, this is no speculation it’s a tactic that was explained to me by concerned peoples.
