LMAO Feri, @ "slurp n burp" smile.gif

Still a shame. Thats nature though!
Tell me, what other countries are you allowed to import from if any?
Is it complicated?

feri- 03-01-2006
sorry for the late reply

the import laws are very tricky here, they vary from province to province, some require and environmental impact study, then apply for permits, if a quarintine station is not setup then its all cancelled, basically it comes down to the mood of the official that issuing the permit.

some have managed to get it right by bringing in thru differnt parts of the country. there is a guy in the western Cape that imports from Bob Clark in the states.

but most of the times its just too damn expensive to bring stuff in legally.

Feri I envy you, atleast you Can import legally however expensive, we cant import at all. sounds very dodgy though.
Money in the right hands eh? You know what they say mate, Money talks!

This year one of my hatchlings decided that his sibling was a fair munch and only then realized that cannibalism may be a future problem dry.gif

Yeah the little critter can cause the same tissue damage as mum. The only access I have to AV is at a hospital so I try being very careful.
