Yes, Joe has quotas for captive bred specimens of Rhampholeon acuminatus, but not Rhampholeon viridis. We have already seen CB specimens come in. He doesn't have that much stock of Rhampholeon acuminatus to my understanding, so he only produces so many offspring a year. Nick with have a...
No, I ment flood the market with adults. While I am keeping some animals for myself, I also make my living importing specimens that I offer for sale. I will be offering WC adults, but not many in the USA as I do not want to "flood the market" in the USA where the price will have to drop.
