[QUOTE="francisco, post: 156982, member: 48"] Hello All, I had a box confiscated once with some Idolos, and they were destroyed and I was fined. This was many moons ago. So there are some random checking post at the airport with the beagel patrol, smelling for anything organic. This is mainly for International mail. Now about domestic mail, well I heard of a case were a box send via Fedex, was for some reason opened, and they discover some tarantulas and MANTIDS within the shipment, now the sender is animal certified sender, so tarantulas were ok, but the supervisor still called Fish and WIldlife or Agricultural department about the mantids. Anyway this particular dealer with a store front, was visited by the authorities, not only fish and wildlife one day, but a couple days after APHIS, showed at their doors. He was told NOT TO SELL MANTIDS as well as some other roaches besides the ones on their OK list to own. So good luck to everyone, perhaps one day you too, will receive a letter or a visit from the bug police to get an statement from you, about your pets. regards to all francisco [/QUOTE]
