i have been away so sorry for not responding sooner... i haven't been really interested in snakes until recently so i'm not sure on all the laws about them... as for the lizards i know for most monitors you need permitts its not just the venomous Herps out there that are ban. As for the caimans status in the wild well.. they are doing quite well and are not endangered, however there are many species of crocodilian that are. All crocodilians are listed on the CITES I or II list depending on there status. all were put under CITES just for more protection i guess but i can assure you Curver's Dwarf Caiman as well as Smooth Fronted Caiman are doing well in the wild. Neither are being hunter for skin because it they have such large scutes and the skin just is not sawt after.
sorry for the long post.
