Depending upon where you are, and who would have
jurisdiction. However, bottom line: all Phyllodactylus xanti
ssp's are protected in their native range. Are Diplodactylus
galeatus protected? You bet they are. How about any specimen of
any Nephrurus species? You bet. These animals are setting in
collections all over the world. However, that does not provide immunity
to anyone, or us all, from potential arising legal issues. It's just
that the Phyllodactylus do occur in the US and are protected
here.
An agent or judge may not be
convinced by some minor scalation, or collecting data (haha), to save
your bacon.

Of the numerous subspecies (9, right?),
is P. x. nocticolus the only one found in the states,
and which subspecies are protected? Jon, please be more
specific.

Hey jon,
Correct me if im wrong, Phyllodactylus
xanti noticolus is "protected"(not completely protected like
some species, but there is now a bag limit of zero)throughout california,
but also ranges into northern baja. Im presuming that they would be
perfectly legal, if from the Baja populations, since technically,
that makes them an exotic. And if the species is xanti
xanti, there should be no problem at all, since they are not native
to the states. So, i guess there would a few "exceptions" in
terms of keeping xanti and/or x. noticolus.
Thanks for youre time.
Frank
