Exporting and Importing T's

[clutchnasty]

I was planning to send all my T's to the Philippines.
I will be living there for a year.
Can I do this?
For example, package them.
Then put them in my check in luggage.
Will I get in trouble? :s

I would not recommend just putting them in your luggage and hoping for the best. How many Ts? Where are you currently living?

 

[clutchnasty]

10 Ts. 5 adults and 5 slings.
i live in canada, ontario.
and ill be staying in the philippines for a year.

I'd check with both the Philippines customs and with your local travel authority to be safe...

how about mailing them instead? are there any services that specialize in mailing exotic pets?

Ask some exotic pet traders you know. They send animals all over the country. There are also videos on YouTube about how to package them properly. There should be services that specialize on that but I don't recommend the ordinary ones. A year ago they sent me two leopard geckos by the biggest mailing company in my country in the winter. Both of them were dead. They had probably frozen to death in the cold night. I've heard and read many stories like this - even if you tell them about the animals and how to keep them (and we're talking about a distance of about 200km), they do something wrong resulting in the animal's death. Why don't you try packing the in small boxes with wet tissues, put them in a backpack and take them with you in the passenger part? Ask if you can bring tarantulas with you like Josh said so they don't confiscate them.

agree with josh 100%, i dont think u will have any problem getting them into the phillipines but i do think u may have a problem bringing back into canada on your return.

Hi there. I'm from the Philippines. There are a number of restrictions here regarding wildlife and very difficult to secure a permit. T keeping is abundant here but there are only few legal and registered keepers and hobbyists. It is illegal to ship T's here. Through the past years there are a number of instances of T's being confiscated at the air and sea ports. Also, there are some who secretly and successfuly brought in and out of the country. If you would be able to secure a permit, It would cost you a large stack of cash and I would not suggest it. I would help you acquire T's here but a No in shipping.
