You have to get a permit at the wild life place on the big island and you're allowed 4 of each species if I remember correctly. I looked it up when I was researching Jackson's Chameleons.That's what I'd do....every weekend. For other species...they'd probably do the same stuff for imports here.
Kinda related, who's working with Hawiian Auratus? I haven't seen them in quite a while.
