This si coming from someone who has been there first hand on shipments coming in from both countries at once, and going through them. As well as first hand experience talking to exporters that have visited Miami. From both Suriname and Guyana.

A hypothesis of their words:

I notice that people think there is a big difference in guyanese and surinamese animals.

We dont have any respect towards that, if guyana is closed we truck them over to suriname and export them from there. and Vice versa.

There is no general difference. In guyana, the trappers do not take very good care of the animals as the suriname trappers do.

Depends on what species as well.The middle men stationed right at the borders buying from both countries and then selling to an exporter from which ever country offers him more for the stock.

Now where does someone send back an animal to guyana or the middle man because it "looks" different.

Never.



Now my 2 cents



I can guarantee that even the person with the strictest locale info has surinames labeled as pure guyanans, and guyanans labeled as pure surinames. Now if you export the animals and catch them yourselves and know which country your in, then you might have 100% pure of one type or another.

I will even guarantee that the locality god Herman Stoeckl(sp?) has animals mislabeled, but he might think that they are 100% pure.

I can guarantee it as it is a very widely accepted practice from over there to buy from middle men who travel between both countries with snakes more than likely from three countries.

Now I know alot of you will be mad I burst your bubbles but that is why I think that the whole locale thing in the extreme is a total waste of time and in my opinion, I know if buying suriname cbb babies or guyanan cbb babies, there is no 1005 way of knowing that the snakes didnt get caught on one side ofthe river, and sold to the higher payer on the other side of the river who was trying to fill a big order.
