Ira Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have seen videos on you tube of American zoos releasing them into their enclosures. That my be true about the tuatara in private overseas hands. Native geckos are in private hands overseas. Also Keas and Kakarikis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Unless i'm reading it wrong LA, did you say the scheltopusik are legal here for pet owners? because they sound very cool you are reading what i quoted from another source wrong i never said anything :sage: *Scheltopusik (Ophisaurus (or Pseudopus) apodus) -- there was a pair of these at Auckland Zoo for decades but now only one is left. they were kept in containment so were never in the public domain so not legal to keep without a containment licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueether Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 You dont get an Iggy because they are cute. stick to kittens.We didn't get our kitten because he was cute, in fact he looked much like a gremlin or something. Because of this he has got the name Smeagol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navarre Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Lace monitors have been here in Zoos before But when the pair that were here died they were not replaced much like the varieties of shingle backs and a few other bits and pieces so if they have been in containment in the past maybe no impact reported needed as they were here and an existing orgainism prior to the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
