So my LFS had a Mimic for sale

[Mr.Lizard]

I am totally with Dr. Roy on this one (Gonodactylus) and respect his unique perspective/opinion as a practicing marine biologist/researcher/educator.
Too bad there are still so many idiots out there who insist on obtaining specimens of little known species just to boost their egos and soothe their inadequacies....Why not just get a new teenage girlfriend and a shiny sports car instead of pushing an amazing animal toward extinction??
I appeciate codybug's contribution of information!

I saw a mimic about 4months ago , I dont think they are Illegal just hard to obtain, Cities are a pain now no way one could slip thru if it wasnt on the list.
