my personal view is that although platynota are all but functionally extinct in the wild (except for the reintroduced ones), they're are alot being captive bred in the private sector and they'll be easily within reach of the average hobbyists in the upcoming years. here's a perfect example how breeders in the private sector have helped save a species from extinction. as opposed to yniphora (Angonokas) which have been totally restricted by wildlife regulations. very few left in the wild and the few private breeders in europe/asia/south east asia have been driven underground to avoid law enforcement. unfortunately there's just not enough resources by zoological institutions to save all the species and smaller animals such as reptiles/rodents/birds can be helped by private conservation efforts. my two cents for the day.

Here's a pic of a female platynota I had (Chris Leone has her now) back when. Between Chris and the previous owner, she has prolly produced more than 100 fertile eggs.
