I would also think that not making any alegations as to the legality or illegality of any particular animal would be allowable. If they offer you something and don't tell you one way or the other if it is legal, then you shouldn't be upset at them when they turn out to be illegal and you are busted.
On the other hand, like Rich said, if they tell you they are legal and you buy based on that advice, I would think that would be entrapment and not allowable.
Simply telling you that they can get you anything you want is not entrapment.
I think this is where phone conversations are tricky. Someone calls you and offers you some protected animals. They tell you they are all legal and they have documentation. You agree based on this info, they send you the animals without the documentation (regardless if they had it or not) then they bust you for receiving illegal/undocumented animals. If you didn't record the conversation you are SOL because even if they did, you can be sure that the part about them being legal will be edited out.
