[split] Hello fellow Canadians!

[min7586]

Totally brand new, sorry if this has been asked before...there is a lot to sort through here.

Whats the process like for bringing red foots or Greek tortoises across the border? Im so close to the US and getting one from a breeder in the southern US is very tempting, and a lot cheaper. I have experience working at zoos and I know our import/export people used to go crazy with all the permitting (granted it was for monkeys), ive never done any myself and I dont really want to start.

So as to not hi-jack the other thread where you asked your question, I've moved it over here to "introductions" so I can give you an answer.

Here's a thread where Isa has done the research and answers your question for you:
