Is every Spider Tort being scrounged throughout the entire island to fill the insatable demand in the US? Is there no bottom to the downward price spiral? Do you truly believe that the collectors are going to sell every Tortoise that they come across...and put themselves out of business? Did they already set up huge breeding colonies in Madagascar? These are the questions from the other side...

Rick,

That's about the most intelligent viewpoint on the whole mess I think that has ever been posted on this list. Maybe Olaf Pronk has some insight about propogation programs in Madagascar. This is pretty much how I look at the whole thing in a nutshell.

I am totally against exportation because these creatures should be kept in the wild and I'm totally for exportation because these creatures don't stand a chance in the wild.

Ciao'

Giovanni
