Oh I understand that not all people know what they are doing when they take animals out of the wild, but even after talking to these people, just via email, letting them know that they can possibly get in trouble, I usually get harrassing emails back. I get called names among other things... one person even told me that the law is no longer in effect... I don't know, I really don't care if people keep natives as pets, but I just try to help them when they try to sell them... they can get in trouble for it if caught. But when they get hostile or flat out ignorant about it, I don't think they deserve to have the animal in the first place!

Anyway, thanks though, your info was good.
