New Mexico also requires importation permits for all herps brought in to the state....The animal has to have a vet health certificate as well.

After long conversations with NM game and fish, it appears the importation permit is very subjective. They only enforce it if it is something they don't want in the state. They will not enforce it if its a ball python, but in James Bear's situation they made him out to be a criminal.....Unfortunate....I'm just saying it needs to be the same across the board or get rid of the law..That is the same for herps, fish, birds, mammals, etc.
