Is this true?
"Amphibians and Reptiles
Please be advised that amphibians and reptiles (excluding turtles and tortoises) are no longer regulated under the Health of Animals Regulations and as a result, no Canadian Food Inspection Agency import permit is required, nor a health certificate and no inspection will normally be done at the border. Imports are permitted from any country, for any use, to any destination in Canada."

Here's the link.

It may only apply to Canadians importing reptiles from the US, but I'm not to sure.
