I am looking for a link on current legal statis on all of the Coleonyx species. I am wanting to get some in the furture but want to make sure I am not getting something that can cause me trouble. Thanks Glenn

There are no species of Coleonyx listed as threatened or endangered under the federal regulations of the Endangered Species Act. Some species however, are listed by their home states as threatened or are protected by other legislation. In California, Coleonyx switaki (barefoot gecko) is listed as threatened and cannot be collected without a permit. In Utah, the Utah banded gecko (Coleonyx variegatus utahensis) is designated as a "controlled reptile" which means this subspecies cannot be possessed or sold without a Certificate of Registration from the state of Utah. In Texas, the reticulated gecko (Coleonyx reticulatus) is listed as threatened and collection of this species requires a permit from Texas Parks and Wildlife. The laws regulating the collection of non-state protected members of Coleonyx vary widely.

Forgot to add, the San Diego Banded(C. v. abbotti) is currently a Federal Special Concern species (FSC).
