I accept your apology. I've heard rumors around that most are smuggled lines. I know the export laws from Australia typically only allow export for Zoo's or education centers. I'm curious if those institutions are allowed to sell the offspring of the animals they breed in their facilities.

It is relevant information, though -- whether a species is technically legal to possess, which this one is not. We'd all do better for the hobby if that sort of discussion was more prevalent, and more accepted. I'd hate for Fauna to become known as the place where these sorts of animals can trade hands, because many of them can't on that other site.

Again, Robert, hopefully my intent in making the whole situation a better one is clear.
