Leglislation heads up
This copy and paste from Caudata.org this morning:
SWEEPING BAN on salamander trade/transportation in effect this month (Note from the Founder of Caudata.org: We are alarmed by the Interstate Ban, not the importation ban. We are no more in favor of importing a disease than the writers of the bans.)
Injurious Wildlife: Listing Salamanders as Injurious Due to Risk of Salamander Chytrid Fungus
Interstate movement and importation of the following species is banned under the Lacey Act, effective January 28, 2016 (end of this month). Needless to say this is the end of a huge portion of the salamander/newt hobby as we know it.
http://www.fws.gov/injuriouswildlife...er-Species.pdf
The listing includes all species in these 20 genera:
Chioglossa, Cynops, Euproctus, Hydromantes, Hynobius, Ichthyosaura, Lissotriton, Neurergus, Notophthalmus, Onychodactylus, Paramesotriton, Plethodon, Pleurodeles, Salamandra, Salamandrella, Salamandrina, Siren, Taricha, Triturus, and Tylototriton
