This is just a pre response, I have to be in the mood to write. The price of any imported animal needs to be much higher,one way to do this is to ship every animal in its own box, that would be much less stressfull and slow down the disposable pet. Crocks are a whole different story, lots of stupid regs. Fijis and Komodos should be legal, I understand that I think it's 4th generation captive bred can't be cocidered Cites I, not sure on that though. The brachylophus outside of Fiji are feral and I cant see Fiji having any claim on them. I don't think ball pythons live there whole life in termite mounds, I assum they go out and hunt, I read they are found in a variety of habitats. Most iguana species adapt to captivity but their is a long list of reptiles that almost all die within a year. I don't give a crap about someone making a living at the expense of helpless reptiles, I would and do tell them to get a real job, I'm hoping karma is real but I think a concience is needed. Some animals should not be imported, and what happened to the Daytona show? wasnt it supposed to be captive bred only? Done for now, John I thought you were gonna come over? KB
