I don't know what it is as of late with people asking sellers to ship them animals that they (the would-be buyer) should know they cannot legally possess. It puts the seller in a bad situation should something happen.
With the attention that the herp industry has received from state wildlife agencies as well as USFWS as of late, I wouldn't be surprised if we're seeing yet another "covert" operation from one or more of the agencies.
