They can be 'bought' legally, however, they cannot be 'sold' legally...by the way, would you care for an iguana or two?

In a year or two, depending on so many variables, I'd like to purchase at least 500 tareas somewhere in el Cibao. would like to keep as many species as can be legally obtained.
How much for the iguanas? If reasonable, I'll send my brother to pick them up.

Here's an iguana my neighbors Gastao and Fucho tried to sell me the other day. Your brother can find them at the hamlet of Los Paniagua, about five kilometers before the town of Las Lomas de Azua.

Due to the avian flu, NO BIRDS of any type can be brought into DR.
I have been trying for 6 months to get a permit for our domesticated bird. The law is pretty black and white.

Reminds me of the time my father, returning from Venezuela, brought with him a live turtle (jicotea). After about six months trying to obtain the requisite permits, he gave up. The argument was something to the effect that the turtle was a new species and its effect in the DR ecosystem was unpredictable. Almost two years later, over conversation, somebody mentioned that the custom guys at the AILA airport had a pet turtle in their offices. He knew at that moment that it was his turtle. So he started moving heaven and earth to get back his turtle. He even contacted the President. Making a long story short, my father got his turtle.

I have about ten Duck Billed Paltypi (plural of platypus?) that I have been trying to get rid of. I'll throw in a bottle of Mamajuana with each.
Don't even get me going about all the "Three Toed Sloths" in my guest room.

The iguana shown in the picture is an endangered species...
...the request made was for non endangered species. By the way, is the "Cibao AZB" an endangered species? If not, can you have your brother pick him up too........?

He's the only one of his kind left. He's protected under the endangered foreigners act just passed last September. Darn!
