Hi, im new to the forums. Although i am only 13, i am VERY good with wild animals and like to study them. Just wanted to introduce myself. Im JD, i have a 2 Red Eared Slider's(both female), a hamster, and i live on a tropical island called trinidad, and i catch wild animals a lot, so i often have a Boa Constrictor( Im am yet to find one that isnt a red tail) or a Spectacled Caiman, or an iguana. i am on the hunt for a few right now that was spotted near my house yesterday. if anyone needs help catching a wild iguana, just ask me.

Cazilla, a baby caiman
And, the last for now, a Golden Tegu. about 12 inches long, he weighs about 10 pounds, has razor sharp claws and teeth. extremely vicious. I saved him from a trap in the savannah. He was released a month ago.

Nice. Awesome reptiles.

Just curious isn't there like laws or something that says you can't take animals out of the wild?

VanillaRat · #12 09-19-2008, 01:13 PM

Hi and welcome.
Nice pics BTW!

Apparently the laws (if any) are not restricted.MANY of the reptiles in the pet stores are wild caught.Yes,here in Canada too.There used to be a store here that was ONLY reptiles/amphibians and most of them were WC.They were closed down a little while ago,not because of WC animals...but for other reasons (not very clean...etc).

Kendalle · #13 09-19-2008, 02:05 PM

i think some places are different if the wild animal is from there, i used to take frogs and snakes and lots of other stuff from our land but normally put it all back soon

RatchetuntClank · #14 09-20-2008, 12:04 PM

Sorry bout my freaky looking eyes. one is fake, so it kinda sticks while my other eye moves around. no, there arent laws like that here.

Hello, nice pics! I love seeing bigger reptiles, theyr'e so cool. Don't apologise about your eyes, I hadn't even noticed them until you pointed it out.
