You cannot get a permit to collect C. switaki in California... they are a protected species. Besides, they are VERY rare to find (that's why they are protected!)

There is a permit, however it is given to people doing a study on the species. The permit is not given to hobbyists for breeding.

beautiful species..... but the closest you'll probably ever get to one is in a field guide. I've only personally seen 3.
