Heading to Trinidad, anything to score?

You could try to locate a CARDI office and buy CARDI seeds.I believe those can be declared and brought back to the US.Best to call customs first and get info.

Hawaii has some of the most restrictive import regulations and for good reason. Like any island isolated for so many thousands of years, think Australia, where a seemingly innocent and cutesy rabbit has caused billions of dollars in damage.....

Yup, we got rats who jumped ships back in the 1800's and some brainiac decided to import mongoose not long after to control the rats. Of course rats are nocturnal animals and mongoose sleep all night so we got double screwed on that one. The mongoose then proceeded to wipe out quite a few indigenous bird species. Thank God another brainiacs idea of importing snakes to kill the mongoose got nixed :crazy:
 
Our latest invasion is in the form of Coqui Frogs. Cute little peeping sounds at first but since there are no natural predators for them here, a couple turn into a couple hundred in a matter of months and the numbers explode exponentially after that. The sound is an almost painful volume with a tone just under what it takes to break glass. Maybe an exaggeration but not by much :halo: 
 
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread but back to the OP, probably got coqui's there too, they're small little guys and can hitch hike on your shoes or clothes easily. Don't bring any home.
 
hawaii has it's own population of poison dart frogs as well. dendrobates auratus

I was never a fan of the larger dendrobates. I prefer ranitomeya
 
Here's a few pics of my old frogs

Can't imagine the customs guys would ever find a few seeds in the pocket of your pants folded in the luggage...

True,....with this sorta thing I don't think it would be the Customs agents or Xray machine you have to worry about, but start cr@pping yourself if you see a K9 sniffer dog heading your way !

Seriously doubt the dogs are trained to sniff out pepper seeds!    :high:
