Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A couple nights ago, I was surfing around on the internet reading other forums and someone posted that she works at a internet invertebrate mail order and mentioned something about certain giant insects like Pede's and others that either the country of origin and/or the U.S.A. may NOT allow the shipments of giant pedes among other invertebrates out of the country or into the US.. I'm gonna find that www. address again if i could remember where i saw it. robert..

I heard that, too. I ordered one (Giant African M.) about 2 weeks ago and when it didn't ship within the week that it was supposed to, I called the website (www.reptilecity.com) to find out why and he told me that the USDA prohibited them to sell because they are coming into the States with parasites. but I just saw one at the pet store today and bought it. Apparently they'll be stopping the import and sale of them nationwide, and I hear it's supposed to be a permanent thing. So if you know any breeders, tell them to keep it going because they're going to be the only source before long.
