Hey does anybody have the list of herps that are banned from being owned or imported to Hawaii. One of the girls at my pet store plans on moving there in 2 years for school and she wants to know if she can take her veiled chamelon with her to the main island (I know they are illeagal in Maui)

All of them are banned I believe

Correct Savannah, or at least when I lived there. The only herps allowed are for research and zoo's. all of which have to be licensed. The animals also must go through a lengthy quarantine. There are no opportunities for private citizens to own one.

I actually can't say that I blame them for not wanting intruduced species. That settles it, I'm never moving to Hawaii!

Yeah its a pain to even get mammals into Hawaii.

They now have established iguana colonies on a couple of the islands and they are thriving which makes officials a little ticked off!

Yeah they imported some dart frogs (dendrobates auratus) to the islands to control a bug population, now there's nothing to control the dart frogs. With a fishing license your allowed to collect a few and bring them back to the states. Hawaii is a hotspot for animal diversity, I wouldn't doubt if any herp could find a niche somewhere on the islands.

I thought living in California was lame when it came to exotic pets. Thats it I'm moving to Texas where they don't care about the environment.
