You DO need a permit for Galops to cross state lines.
You DON'T need a permit for Aldabras. They just aren't as endangered, and/or the silly lawmakers just have not gotten around to making it difficult to own an Aldab. YET...
If anyone ever wanted an Aldabra, I think you would be crazy to not take a drive to meet Aldabraman and get it from him. He is THE premier Aldabra breeder in the US, and we are all privileged to have him as an active member right here on our forum. This should not be taken for granted. NO ONE anywhere gets to see and experience the things that he routinely shares with us here. It really is something special.
... just in case everyone didn't already realize this...

He had been trying for years and had all sorts of elaborate details and tricks to make it all happen. I told him about my friend in FL and he just sort of looked at me in disbelief. I told him to go to TFO and look it up. Its all documented with 100's of gorgeous pics. He asked me to give Aldabraman his contact info, which I happily did.
Thanks again Tom, We have spoke extensively on the phone.
Yes, but do you think you were able to help him much? Or does he just need to move the whole operation to FL?
