Went to a Petco yesterday and surprisingly saw veiled for sale! Never happen before. The petco person told me it become legal (possess without a permit) about three weeks ago.
So I went to the MA website and found this is ture! So that means more trade and sale in MA in future? We can also expect to see them in MA herp EXPO.
