Homopus in the USA

I am looking for any Homopus in the USA for a project at an upstate NY AZA zoo. Only interested in animals already in the US. If you have any or can help locate any, please let me know.

thanks,

Dan

Good luck. I dont think any one in US has them. Europe is full of them (xavi olivares, johann klutz, I follow them on FB)

Would it be legal if you attempted to import CB adults from private breeders in the EU as long as they met the 4" requirement?

I believe so. Find either one of those guys I mentioned. A hatchling Parrot Beak would go for around 3k USD.

You would need CITES II docs.

Does the CITES II documentation come from the EU (and the seller) or does the buyer need to obtain the necessary documentation stateside for legal importation?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I brought some Chersina into the country a few years ago and the sender had to get the CITES paperwork. Its a lot of paperwork in general - on both sides. You have to get a broker and you have to setup a USFWS inspection of the animals before you can take possession. Overall the process is certainly possible, but its annoying and labor intensive.

I try to avoid CITES animals unless if they're within the state borders.

Totally agreed. Thats why I am only interested, at least for now, in animals that are currently in the US.
