i find the whole cites thing fairly confusing. i am assuming that the previous info was written by a stae biologist off the to of his head. this maybe nit picking but as near as i can tell there is no cites appendix "A" only appendices I,II,III. a quick review of the cites website indicates "chamaeleo jacksonii" was listed to appendix II 04-02-77. there is further notation for chamaeleo jacksonii merumontanus, which i did not follow. cites would only apply if trying to transport (from hawaii) to a country other than the us. even if you have the jackson's and the permit, you still have to find a consenting airline, the state will not recomend one and in the numerous threads on this subject that i have participated in, no one has yet to come forward and identify one.
