I thought it was obtained from the wild (or as you call it "poached"). It in fact was obtained from someone who had a license. I believe she bred them and didnt record the birth of all the young, hence why she could give it away without the new owner having a license.
No, my friend doesnt have a license although he has every intention of getting one as he wants to purchase reptiles the correct way but obviously he cant put his current gecko on it. He's not selling it because of that, rather that he wants bearded dragon instead of the gecko.
Either way, I've found what type it is, he can sell it (and lets be honest, there are a lot of people keeping reptiles not on licenses including imported reptiles) and get a license to purchase reptiles correctly.
