I just hope all the animals have survived this stressfull trip, and are taken back to their natural habitat.
Regards,

Cindy

Would be interesting what species he had!

I think he is no NZ Gecko Insider, so, from whom did he get the geckos and for whom did he get them??

Some interesting questions!

Bad that NZ Government doesn´t allow export, like Australia.

Bad for the animals because some captive breeding would take the pressure of wildcaught from the country!
No one would smuggle Neph. w. or Neph. l. because there are hundreds of animals bred

best
Tom

Tom's got a point. A program to let small numbers of CB animals out would not only help aleviate the smuggling attempts but would also give more people the opportunity to develop better husbandry techniques. I think that in a long-term sense this would be better for all parties.
