I'm trying to plan forward to spending my future winters down south, ie: Florida. I realize we need CITES permits to import certain species and I'm curious what permit we can get to travel with our pets. This may sound crazy but just as I would bring my dog, I would bring my monitor or tegu (whichever I finally get).
I don't know much about that stuff, but, I'm almost sure that it will still have to pass all the exams and such. Might I suggest that you make the right choice to abide by the laws though. The last thing the industry needs right now is somebody trying to "smuggle" something. I'm not saying you will smuggle anything but you know how the news makes things out to be. Good luck on the trip and taking your animals with you. Please keep us informed on how you go about the process.
