Silly Question -Easterns
Hi folks, after taking a look at Andrew Seikes website I thought I'd ask if anyone associated with this group has approached the Authorities to see what it would take to be able to import a few Easterns?
Could it be done through a zoo program, University etc?
Possibly a naive question?

I believe you need to have an approves cites license and they aren't handed out to anyone. if Easterns were endangered it'd be a possibility but that just isn't the case.
I'm sure zoo's could get a hold of a pair, but when you look at it, what's the point? They aren't native stock, and they are Designer blueys.
In regards to the native stock - why import something we have an abundance of in the wild?
I see your point and I love what andrew is doing myself, but it is makes no sense to bring one to oz in the eyes of the Gov't. Set up a breeding program of your own, I reckon that'd be your best bet. Email Andrew and talk to him about how he went about it etc.. i'm sure he'll give you some good tips, he's a top bloke.
I think it'd be a better option to bring in some meraukes to oz personally.

Sorry for the confusion but I meant import from the US perspective
from Aus.
Surely if we can sent Koalas and other stuff to zoos and academia etc around the world we could send a few lizards provided that it was part of a bone fide breeding program.

Scott - that's silly! Don't you like the fact that we have something the yanks don't? Pure Blooded Easterns with temporal Streaks. and an abundance at that!
sorry that's the evil coming out!
In all seriousness now, I doubt it would happen.
America has blueys. They are openly sold as pets. I doubt the Australian gov't would allow them to be shipped over there just so they can have a pair with eye bands. If they did allow it to happen, I'd be pretty peeved because i know the same thing wouldn't be allowed for us.
Anyway, i doubt Rudd would allow it. Johnny boy may have though. thankfully he is gone hey?

Just keep rubbing it in there buddy.
We'll get our pure easterns with temporals, just you wait. But, you ain't gettin' a Merauke unless you come here to live.
