I would say a 13" Frt is "WORTH" $1500-$2000... it takes a real long time for them to reach that size! They are such an awesome species with character!

You can't sell them, since they're on CITES. However, you can have them, since they're on CITES recently, so there's a chance people has been keeping them long before they're on CITES

Oh i see... Thanks jlnguyen74! And how recent have they been on CITES now? Ok... just wondering, this might be a stupid question but here goes... so you can't "sell" them, but are they allowed to be traded for other goods besides cash? Or is that the same sh*t??
