Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Yes, I seen a range map for C. Dickersonae and it looks like they are only found in Mexico, No disrespect for Mexican people as I have alot of respect for anyone that comes to this country and works as hard as they do. I also have Mexican friends that are hardworkers. However Mexico is such a corrupt Gov. that many of those people running the country would sell their mothers soul if the price was right.So I dont understand why the Mexicans dont allow the export of certain species they have? They have a couple of other species I really want but it seems impossible to get them and as far as I know they are not indangered. I wonder if it is the USA that puts these tough laws on Mexican wildlife coming here and that is why none of the species Id like to have are available? Some of these laws for wildlife do not make any sense, more and more american corp. move to Mexico for the cheap labor and there is no EPA so they can dump almost anything into the streams and pollute everything. So I am assuming it must be the laws of Uncle Sam that prohibit the import of most Mexican reptiles? Does anyone know the legal implications of Mexican species in the USA ?
Thanks, Bob

I agree Bob but you have to appreciate that they do protect this lizard which has such a small range to begin with. I was planning to go to baja this summer, but with no way to import at least one lizard I might try somewhere else.

So, Bob . . . why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel!

Hee, hee, hee. Just kidding (wink).
