I really know little about Salvators, but it appears there are three types of black waters in the states, komaini, togian, and that new one that Glades brought in a few years ago, you know, the mini KD. I heard these were being discribed as something new, but I did not hear if that happened. Also, all three have been advertised in recent months on KS.

I know of a number of people who have them and I heard of a few breedings. One advertisement showed a neonate hatching.

Also, the point is, these are all Appendix 2. Which means, if they are in the country they are legal. No matter what country they come from or if they export or not.

In this case, I believe sighthunter is bringing them in from Europe, which means, there WILL HAVE TO BE PERMITS ISSUED, then if they come in with permits, they are no problems. If FWS does not allow them in, then problem solved.

I am not positive but I believe FWS does not go by subspecies. So to apply for a permit all they need to do is label them V.salvator and as such, there will be no problem, as there are about a billion in the country already. Again, I am not positive. FWS can and do decline any species they want, so again, it they allow them in, then no problem. And it appears they are letting them in. Cheers
