Its CITES II for now and if bought from the right place , the receipt issued by that place should enable you to apply for a license to keep !!

yes, i admit,the law seems not holistic especially in Malaysia,we are too far behind.The law about TTT usually implemented by the CITES,not wildlife department and Malaysia as a members of CITES must obey it. but they do so just to reduce wildlife trade. even based on fact,moreless 20% only the livestock still alive when reach the destination. and sometimes those animal reach the end of their life in stupid petshop and stupid people. i oledi talk about it with some wildlife officer during my fieldwork because i think the law was not fair to serious breeder like u all,but he said that he cannot do anything because it involve top people(some of them didnt know nothing about wildlife,just bisnes)..

maybe one of us must be one of a policy maker,kwah3.

Even those local sp listed with CITES , they usually wont issue license ( individual hobbist like you and me ) too !!!
Base on what fact ?? I thought all underground ( how to estimate facts / numbers if cant be seen ) !! Most of these facts are made up by those people / body out to get conservation funds !!
From what I know the high death rate in transit were due to packing method ( efficient yet best to avoid dection by authorities ) !!
