Rob, yes it does depend on who you talk to. I frequent a couple of primarily American forums and on one in particular they got quite annoyed because they thought, quite rightly, that we seem to think they have to scour the whole country to buy pure animals which is obviously not the case.
Of course some species are harder than others but it's wrong to use such a sweeping statement.
When you really get to know these guys overseas you do realise that it really isn't as hard as some here or indeed actually in the States would have us believe.
To me it's no different than those people who reckon there are only a few 100 exotics in this country, you base a judgement on what you see.
I totally agree with you.
I was in the USA for a couple of years in the herp industry and had no problems acquiring pure aussie animals, in fact at the time it was easier there than here.
If you know the breeders and network then it is easy to acquire "pure" animals, if you ask at your local petshop don't expect much Same as here in a way
Unfortunately on these forums anybody can say anything and it is not always even close to the truth or reality One reason I don't post much
I know my experience and don't need to pretend anything, but also don't need to sprout anything Even got the T shirt
Visiting the expo in Daytona Beach during August will open people here eyes
