[anders_240sx]

Has anyone every seen this site (http://www.avifaunafarm.com/) It apparently sells all these cities and non-cities animals straight out of tanzania ... its crazy ... if u haven't gone to this site ...check it out ... I assume its restricted to only zoos ...but theres nothing on the website saying that


check it out here (http://www.avifaunafarm.com/)

thanks

wow, what a list I want an aardvark!

[Shane Tesser]

Makes me wonder if you'll actually get the product? Sometimes transactions over seas can be a bad idea...but who knows. At the same time, it makes me a bit sad that anyone can buy a zebra, or something like an eagle which i believe i saw. You just have to think about how many non qualified ppl some of these animals might end up with :(

[boasnpythons03]

IMO

I dont think there is anyway you can get those animals in the US or even though im not sure, canada for that kinda money.

It may be just a joke, or somebody trying to rip somebody off....

[anders_240sx]

See I figured it was a joke ... but its a website under "breeders/dealers" on WWW.KING$NAKE.CA

I just emailed the site and inquired about purchasing 2 green mambas( I live in Canada). I obviously don't want to purchase them, I was just interested in what their reply will be.
I'll let you know what they say.

Thanks:-),

that'd be interesting to have a gazelle running around the house while the eagle takes off at the sun rise.

Look at the prices on those bad boys!!! 45$ for a gaboon, 100$ for a black mamba, 8$ for a frischer chameleon, and no more than 35$ for all the other very rare species!! 3$ for spiders and 2 for scorps, crazy!!! Sounds too good to be true to me....

[Collide]

I bet dealing directly with them being an exporter the paper work would be 10x the cost of the animal. Personally id love some of thoses chams but lol too many q's

If only.............

[Linds]

In most cases, importers/exporters will only deal with businesses, and in some cases, private individuals placing orders over a set minimum.

[Neo]

it sounds like all of these would be wild caught or in bad condition cause just by looking at that picture of the flamingos they're all outside with a dirt floor

[anaconda]

I was hoping they had capybaras on their price list. Oh well, my pair of green anacondas will have to be satisfied with rabbits for now!!!

i saw gaboons at a reptile show for $45. they were either wc or somebody didn't want to take all them babies home

[nolagurl]

I definitely think there should be restrictions to what can and can't be legally acquired in the private individual sector.

Some jack *** will buy an exotic animal, not take care of it, eats the neighbors dog, blah blah blah.

[snakehunter]

maybee it is for zoos, and you have to buy in bulk b/c of the low prices.

does make me wonder, black mamba for 100, insane

there are a few places on the net where anyone can buy tigers, etc...

i think a lot of those businesses aren't concerned about the animals well being. they just want to make money.

yea...knowing that any idiot can purchase a highly venomous snake off the internet is indeed disturbing.

[whiteknight2957]

it has to be a joke

Most of these animals you will have to have permits for, such as for Eagles you will have to have some sort of permit such as a Eagle falconer permit( At least here), which is only available to Master falconers. For hots, alot of sellers are familiar with your state laws, or will check with them prior to selling.. Most responsible and logical hot sellers will anyways. Just an upfront. I noticed that the site itself isn't finished so all I can say is wait it out, and as someone said, the paper work, CITES, and permit varification will take time and money so It'll add up and probably end up as more of a hassle than to buy an animal from here for a few extra bucks.
I personally wouldnt waste my time...
