Hey guys, first time on the stingray section. Now I've never kept stingrays before because they are illegal here in California. But my LFS is holding a paratrygon motoro for a guy. I met the guy and asked him how he got it and he said he purchased it in Oregon and brought it with him when he moved down here. So does it mean if a stingray if purchased at a state where it's legal for owning/selling, you can bring it here?

No you aren't allowed to do that I'm pretty sure , but I mean the law can't stop everything. If it can't stop people doing illegal drugs what makes you think they can stop people from owning illegal fish. Maybe he has an education grant or something I'm not sure...or maybe he is just staying for a limited time I don't know
