Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Importing monkey tails
Have they made it legal to once again import monkeytail skinks.
I am seeing a lot of them on wholesale sheets.

Yes but only under quotas....
They are said to have been held for 2 years awaiting approval. I personally don't believe them???? Being done however!

I just bought one...
at a reptile sale. I got a green adult from Xtremereptiles at a show. It looks to be a healthy speciman (male-female?) and has eaten applesauce and a few veggies so I hope all will go OK. I would recomend a CB baby which there are some around, but the price is higher, maybe double. From what I understand the export from the Solomon Islands is shutting down and those that are in the country are all there will be for a while, except for the CB ones. Personally I wouldn't buy one without hand picking or at least a pic from a reputable dealer. Good luck.

The skinks were never actully a threatened population...
The Solomon Islands just decided not to "waste" the required funds to do a survey of wild populations for the CITES authorities. Since no population figures were obtained, the species pretty much instantly changed it's status.
My very casual understanding of the recent events, gained from a conversation with a friend are as follows... There was a count done. The species is fine. Export numbers are now back to the controlled levels that they were a few years ago before the ban, but at this point the demand is still pretty high so the price hasn't fallen to it's old levels yet.

An emergency meeting was held by CITES and ALL exports have been stopped. What many people do not understand is that this is an Insular species and very vulnerable to outside pressures. Yes, populations are currently still stable???... but, they need protection from over collecting etc..... They have 1-2 babies every 2nd-3rd year. Very difficult for them to replace or recover within those populations. Also, i've seen hundreds of them die after being exported and many come in weak, dehydrated and starved.
This is a problem on the exporters end that needs to be addressed. There's more to it but, i'll go into it when I have more time. Thanks Ray G.HBR
