Australia, huh?
Does that mean all of the Tiliqua spp., Aspidites spp., Pogona spp., Antaresia spp. and other species indigenous to Australia, currently in the hands of US hobbyists and breeders, are being illegally held? I don't believe so.
Australia shut down the export of its native flora and fauna on its own, even species that are not listed to CITES appendices cannot be exported. Though there have been a few reptiles brought into the US, via VERY elusive permits from the Australian Government.
Actually, the government of New Guinea has allowed several shipments C. insculpta out of the country, via native permits, on several occasions. Of course, this was prior to the species being amended to CITIES appendices.
Best regards,
