    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone Looking For Gold Dust Day Gecko's?

I will hopefully contact the fish and game people tomorrow (I was very busy today) about possibly exporting different species. I just caught 4 of these guys today and if there is interest in this species I will look to start up a breeding program. Here's some pics of the specimens that I caught today.

I will probably be able to get more adults soon and would take orders if people are looking for them and I can export them.

I should hopefully get my answer tomorrow on whether or not I can export these beauties. If I can, then I will let everyone know in this thread.
 
I was told today that I could not do this commercially but that if I "took them with me on a plane it would be fine". So apparently I can fly with them, but they can't be shipped out. Umm, yeah. I was then later told that I could talk to the invasive species division and see what happens. It looks unlikely at this point and I am very disappointed. I'm hoping to get good news from this person but my call hasn't been returned since 10AM, so unless they were out of the office who knows when I maybe able to contact this person.

I will keep everyone posted, wish me luck!
 
Well, I talked to the person today and unfortunately once again the law screws the little guy, I am unable to export these beauties. The best that I could do is collect them for someone visiting from the mainland US and sell them to them (not even sure if that's legal, but what's the difference if they collect them or I do?). If anyone is interested in doing that and are coming to Maui, please give me as much notice as possible and let me know how many you're looking for. Other than that, no luck for me :(
 
I find it hard to believe that you can't ship and invasive species.... here in NY we have a bunch of invasives and they all are Kill on sight.


If you find a loop-hole, or what not let me know, I would love to have a few. (as well as some auratus frogs (also an invasive to Hawaii)

Can you ship out captive bred herps?

As long as it is on the state of Hawaii's import list, neither the Gold Dust or Green Anole are. IMO it is just another joke is a long list of government jokes.
