  1. got the paperwork i'll take a pair swap for jardini :lol:
  2. if the iguanas were smuggled and monitors taken off people, why has no one been prosecuted for this, only the animals destroyed.? Animals that can't survive for long without a heated environment. iguanas were declared a new organism in nz almost 2 years after they were offered for sale on trademe, a public site, articles in newspapers quoting government department officials saying that these animals were legal in nz led many people to believe they were legal in nz biosecurity were unable to locate any importation documents for iguana into nz, then by accident found the marineland permit attached to the back of the original marineland zoological permit. what other permits might have been issued in the early days and been destroyed or lost in my mind biosecurity did their job within the confines of the law and did it fairly. it was a pity that people lost money and pets on this whole exercise and the animals were destroyed to prove a point to future smugglers like others you show me the documentation and i will buy it, until then the barge pole stays firmly in my hand
