    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is anyone familiar with current Canadian import regulations? I have a customer interested in one of our Brazilian Rainbow babies (I believe the species is still CITES), but traditional importation costs make it impractical.

I see two options:

One, have the customer research the rules for single pet purchases physically picked and driven across the border by the new owner (though fully declared to customs, of course). I saw two older threads dealing with this:
A) http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165538&highlight=canada
B) http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110007&highlight=canada
Are these rules still applicable?

Two, try assembling a larger common order that reduces the usually prohibitive costs to a more reasonable average per person, then have the animals distributed after they arrive. I know firms such Reptile Express offer formal versions of this, but suspect a private importer could work a better deal.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
 
We can't help with imports or exports directly, but we have always used export brokers for these types of shipments.

I highly recommend Dynasty Reptiles and BallRoom Pythons South for any export shipments, including to Canada.
