That is correct. Australia does not permit the export of its fauna generally- including reptiles & amphibians. On the flip side,we do not allow the import at all of any exotic- ie non-Australian, herps either. You may want to keep Phyllurus, I'd like some Phelsuma, Uroplatus & Rhacodactylus! Luckily we do have some fantastic Australian geckos- I keep Nephurus [Underwoodisaurus] milii, Phyllurus platurus, Diplodactylus vittatus, Diplodactylus ciliaris, Diplodactylus taenicauda and Heteronotia binoei at present.

I think there may be somePhyllurus in the USA, but not many.
Australian stuff is "not supposed to be exported" even though we
have a bunch of bearded dragons and blue tongue skinks here. Perhaps CB Phyllurus could reach that kind of status here if they
are not endangered and were suitable captives.

        This is really cool Jeff, thanks for posting! I wish we
        could keep some Phyllurus here in the USA.
