    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....

Anybody remember the discussion on Keensnake about the "Bonafide gift" rule applying to threatened species as well as ones listed under the Cites I endangered species?

I had posted the specifics of the rule with regard to the Python m.molurus/pimbura in response to a question with regard to interstate transportation. Since I have the CBW permit along with 3 pages of rules governing the actions acceptable under the permit, I believe what is written there, not the conjecture of a few!

Anyway I was told the same rules apply to giving Eastern Indigos away as a gift and this was verified by a couple of responses posted verifying the authenticity of the rule. Also in conversations with Victoria when applying for Transport permits, she looked it up and verified it is correct and legal.

Anyone remember the discussion that can verify it here.

Cheers

I recall the conversations-

Probably because I am the one who initiated the conjecture of the few! ;0)

I posted a link from the USF&W website, indicating no interstate commerce permit is needed for shipping specimens, so long as such are donated as bona-fide gifts and no bater or monetary transaction takes place

I posted a link from the USF&W website, indicating no interstate commerce permit is needed for shipping specimens, so long as such are donated as bona-fide gifts and no barter or monetary transaction takes place. Keep in mind, the permits are for interstate “commerce”. If no “commerce” has taken place, no permits are required. Same goes for intra-state transactions. If the buyer and seller both reside within the same state, no inter-state transaction has taken place, meaning no permits will be required, except for those required by some individual states…

Best regards,

Cool Jeff,

I thought it might have been you but I did not want to just put your name out without checking it out. Looks like what your saying confirms what I have read and been told by posts and verbally by wildlife officials.

thanks for the clarification.

I spoke to Victoria regarding that as well and she confirmed it and directed me to the supporting regulations.

I am ready for the state permits to come in. :(
