And also the USFWS says a ban exists. But I know that in Southern Florida, A huge # of Corucia has just come in. It is a confusing world.

That shipment was actually siezed about a week and a half ago. No C. zebrata will be arriving in it. Sometimes, dealers lacking scrupples, list specimens that an exporter may have psosted, but may not actually have them in stock. kind of like counting your chickens before they hatch.
Also, you may notice that the individuals with such posts are reluctanct to discuss pricing. I believe this to be a bait and switch scheme. Unfortunately, the herp business has become one of buyer beware.
I noticed a few folks balking at the price of C. zebrata, when the prices started to jump. I believe that the current price is still unjustly low, giving the production rate and presence of such a species. But, then again, I remember buying T. rugosus for 75.00 each.
