I agree, indigenous stuff does rock. I would much rather start keeping them ( i love eggeaters and auraura's above all other herps) but with the various laws in our country it is nearly impossible in some places, like Gauteng - and no disrespect to anyone, i just don't have the time to belong to any Association, attend meetings and 'earn' approval, even though i think of myself as a responsable herper. From what i've been told, it takes ages to be able to buy a legal/permited indigenous from an existing breeder. Having said that, i wish i did have the time, some of your really are blessed to be able to do this, and i would love a pair of het albino eggies, but alas, so many of us are stuck with exotics only, not wanting to get into trouble with the authorities. Sad but true in many cases i feel.
