Is It Possible ?

Hello,

I´ve got a question. I come from Germany and I keep 7 Caimans and one Alligator ( in different enclosure) and I am allowed to keep them . Now I am searching for another Alligator ( female ), but in Germany they´re very rare. Is it possible to buy one in America and to send it to Germany?

Best Regards

Schnorchel

Re: Is It Possible ?

Welcome to Herp Center! It is possible to ship animals across the world, but special permits are required to do so. In order to have someone from the US send you a gator, you would need to locate someone that is willing to go through all of the red tape to get it over there. Financially it would likely cost a fortune to complete the entire transaction.

All Crocodylians are also CITES which would make the permit process even more "fun". It is possible but very very difficult, very costly and very time consuming. If it was easily done everyone would be doing it.
