How do you think bearded dragons and a ton of other animals got here lol...?
The good thing with T's like this one are that even if you only bring a few pairs over and can get them to successfully mate, you'll have HUNDREDS of babies. I bet you'll see them in the hobby soon enough.
(Not condoning illegal activities, just speculating...)
Yes, I understand that part, but after viewing a discussion on another forum, they said even if they are poached back to the US, whoever is reported to have them or selling them will get in trouble. That's what I meant.
