Oh right, Phyllobates terribilis not Dendrobates terribilis. Ooopsy. And sorry for the hijack Randi. BTW that salad looks spectacular. :lol:

All the animals i list above are illegal to posess/sell/anything. Red ear sliders are ok to have, but you cannot sell.

I did(do) have a list of PDF's somewhere as it's something I wanted to get into once and it struck me as ridiculously arbitrary and random what was copesetic and what was not.

Only the genus Phyllobates is prohibitted according to my list which was updated in 2005, should still be current, they rarely update these things.

As for turtles...these are illegal

Snapping Turtle Chelydra serpentina
Alligator Snapping Turtle Macroclemys temmincki
Blanding's Turtle Emydoidea blandingii
European Pond Turtle Emys orbicularis
Map Turtles Genus Graptemys
Mud Turtles Genus Kinosternon
Soft-shelled Turtles Genus Trionyx

which is a shame because I LOVE map turtles...and I've seen a few Snapping turtles turn up here in Alberta, I think most of them have been rehomed to that place in Saskatchewan...

Well Mark, I'm just saying if.... OH! Maybe you need someone to babysit them when the wedding comes around...and if one goes missing I'll blame it on Zeus...

Thanks for the explanation. Interesting.

If you spill antifreeze in front of a cat or dog there's a good chance they'll start licking it because it smells sweet or something. Probably not a good assumption to make that just because an animal eats it, that it knows what is best for it to eat. All they know is what smells good or tastes good.. usually ..

Jack Daniels and Cranberry tastes oh so good...and the next day crapiness tells me it can't be THAT good for me. LOL
