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.

    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....

Back in November 2017, I went to REXPO in Rochester, NY and there was a vendor with a few Black Pines for sale and, as never heard of them before, began asking questions out of curiosity. The vendor stated that I needed “...a permit” in order to own one but never specified as to which one I needed. However the closest I got to was maybe a Captive Bred Wildlife Registration since that focuses on threatened/endangered species survival, but am not 100% sure. So I am asking anybody who has one as to which permit they needed outside of a Federal Interstate Commerce Permit (I am an NY resident, just to make it clear)?
 
They are on the protected species list, requiring a USFW Interstate Commerce Permit to purchase and transport across state lines. You do not need this permit to buy from a breeder living in your state. The permit process usually takes 60 to 90 days to be issued, and the permit application has to be filed with a $100 application fee.

As the price of the animals is really not that much, so most vendors simply sell within their state and not across state lines.

So would this apply to a vendor coming from another state and selling it in the state they travelled to (I believe the vendor came from the Midwest or down the East Coast, I can’t remember)?

That is correct. Most out-of-state vendors will just choose not to bring animals that have those requirements for sale.
