Well, let me say one thing. One of my good connections is involved in the whole Ctenosaura species stuff (all those world wide organisations, IUCN, CITES etc etc).. He told me (i've read his message just 5 min ago) that indeed Mexico did demanded some Ctenosaura alfredschmidti back. The animals went back to Mexico and were destroyed there, because of possible diseases/parasites etc. The German owner got a big fine for it.



This person is in contact with the CITES organisation and at the moment they are trying to bring in several (and I mean all) Ctenosaura species under trade-prohibitation.



Mexico set up their own very strict rules, and none of the animals are allowed to be exported out of the country. Each animal out of the country is illegal, while they can't be exported.



And Tgreb, they are trying to get the palearis indeed also on the trade-prohibitation
