Reptile smuggling: The Lizard King

[tanala]

Anyone else reading/has read the Lizard King by B. Christy? I think its definitely worth a look.

I just got it about a week ago, been reading a chapter or so a day, really interesting book!!

there is a company at strictlyreptiles.tv - this is it? There's also a pic at the main page with a guy named Ray Jr. with a big Iguana - is this the guy from the book? So he's still in the business?

Strictly Reptiles - Wholesale Reptiles and Amphibians

Yep, same guy. I have one chapter left. Boggles the mind when you think that only development makes species rare. Try again, these type of people have a hand in it as well. They also give a bad name to the rest of the herptological societies and the public tends to remember the bad and not the good.

It's about soe of the bigger names in the smuggling rings back in the day.(some guys still in the hobby/business). That's the jist of it, I myself haven't read it yet(Hoping Santa brings it) But I've heard nothing but good reviews about it!

unfortunately the library I am closest to is devoid of anything interesting, and completely devoid of anything to do with geckos.... managed to find it on amazon marketplace for £8 so nabbed a copy.
