My only thought on it is if they INTEND to put quotas on a particular year, that they dont spend until October trying to decide what they will be - no quotas issued on a quota bearing species means no importing... THis happened last year? with some Madagascan animals...



I, for one, will not pay the outlandish prices advertised. I will wait until someone I know and trust is wanting to get rid of them, or we've got established captive breeding colonies. This happens all the time with animals, the supply - demand principal takes a hold and the hobbyists suffer because some people wouldnt wait until they became more available. If a person cant sell them for $200 each (or whatever) they will lower the price, plain and simple.



I am not paying twice the price for an animal that is wild caught, full of parasites and dehydrated (anyone see the tails on some of the Uros posted in the last day or two? They look like pencils - NOT good.)not to mention beat up. I just wont do it.
