Going to be selling soon

Going to be selling my pancakes soon and I would like some help understanding some laws a bit better. The species is a CITES 2. I made a list of state laws and want to know if I am understanding this correct. For importation permits is this required for people with state to state shipping or only from out of the US purchasing. I also saw that in a few states people need permits to own federally protected species, would the CITES make them federal? I was using this link to get the law information. http://www.nauti-lasscritters.com/laws-by-state.html

Unless they are listed under the Endangered Species Act, and I don't believe they are, they can be shipped anywhere in the US.

Any comments on the import permit, does this also cover state to state shipping or just out of country shipping?

Only required for importing into US. You can ship anywhere in the US.

CITES only applies to international shipping. There are no permits required for shipping anywhere in the USA.

Where did that attachment come from, what source? I see the link, but that's a compilation, not a source. Some cities may have generic pet laws "no more than three pets per household" or the like, but CF&G regulates native species, of which there are really only three (Chelonians).

I think it was Gerald Merker who had published a book, 'reptiles and amphibians and the law' or something like that. but now with the internet and frequent law changes it might not be a viable book to keep up to date.

That was a list I made myself keeping track of the laws I was reading.

Hopefully next week I can make a sale ad. Hurricane Harvey really put a hold on that, and I need to keep an eye out on Irma as well.
