We went down and tried to get permits and even went herping but we were NOT isuused permits and we didn't bring anything back. Actually at first it seemed they were going to do so but we only stayed 10 days. When we got back we followed thru with our attempt to get permits for a small number of E. gracilis primarily because I only have one pair here. We haven't given up but so far no snakes and no permits but we had a GREAT time observing them in the wild and of course took a ton of pics. I, of course, will keep trying...I really learned more about gracilis on that trip than ever before. Our friend in the D.R. showed us how to look for them and they were quite common although before I had thought them to be rare.. We saw and photographed over 24 snakes in the 10 days there. Years ago I bred them to f-3 generations but had only seen one in the wild before this trip. All my others had come frrom Haiti...
