Guentheri? Only two scientifically described animals? How come I have owned over 40? and sold 40?

I guess he is looking int he wrong places, and since it is him and a small group of people looking for them I guess they can't find them, remember they are built and designed not to be found.

Explain then if there aen't that many, how so many are caught and sent here? In the THOUSANDS per year?

They must be looking harder, and more effeciently, the excuse of using high beam lights to find them is ridiculous, fi they find them, they are there!!!

If they didn't find them, didn't export so many, THEN they must be hard to get or rare, but just think how can something be found in such great numbers be considered rare? Just because someone uses a flashlight makes it rare? You aren't making sense.

And sorry to dissapoint you but I am not a jobber.....I import my own in split shipments with another company.

I import hundreds a year.....who did the CITIES study showing the numbers were rare and hard to find? Probably someone like YOUR friend, with only a few other people........how can they find that many if they dont have hundreds of people looking for them, with powerful flashlights. Now if the study was done using a majority of regular uroplatus hunters, then they might rethink their estimates, etc.

Think about it.

Now if they did use these hundreds of people with high power flashlights and what not that know where to look, they might have actually found some.

Even with high power lighs, hundreds of people, you think they get every one? I don't think so, they conservatively only find about 50% or less that occupy an area.

To say they find every single one is ridiculous, that is like saying all uroplatus in the area have their eyes facing the lights to be seen with the eye shine, we all know that doesnt happen.

My buddy who has been there says that finding three or four in a bush or tree is very common and that half the time they do find eye shine and go to the tree to collect the animal, the never find it.

Think about this.....tell your friend to get 20 villagers, give them high power lights, and then go looking for henkeli, etc.

He might actually find something. t sjust common sense
