Your Reptile Wish List

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm currently in the middle of actually acquiring my "dream herps" - I'm importing some "Mustard Blonde-Phase" Trans-Pecos Ratsnakes (Bogertophis subocularis) from one of the most highly regarded breeders in the U.S.....just waiting on permits and decent shipping weather...

Oh trust me I know. I used to work in a zoo and it pissed me off how many cool animals they freeze the eggs to. I know that one zoo freezes komodo dragon, mata mata, FRT, and Bothriechis nigroviridis eggs yearly (and that is just what I know of). I think that if they were to be more responsible about it, they could make a lot of extra money by selling them to the private sector.

And I was just kidding, I dont really hate you coura :-)

yes because they cant find room for them in other zoos and AZA prohibits them from selling animals. Dont get me started, that is a whole other thread
not true. i can name quite a few institutions that sell/give away animals.its ridiculous when an AZA zoo sells primates for scientific research, but it happens.

You nailed it, some, not all and you have to apply to allmost full zoo permit in many ocasions. For example David Blair has been offering for sale a full blood Cyclura lewisi, zoo bred but only to cb wildlife permit holders.

No its wrong, even if its for the animals own good it is stealing. The good way its harder to achieve but its beneficts would be much more broad;)
