jimbob, the reason they keep it alive is after the baby got strangled down here their was a Politicion and Media frenzy and they passed all kinds of laws, it was election year

. The laws after the excitement and photo op's wore off were watered down. You are not allowed to buy/import anymore in Florida but you can still trade or sell among established breeders/collectors what you have in stock. So,,JMO I imagine there is still a good Black Market going on. I know quite a few people that have them and they can't afford the permit.
