Yup, It is apparently a big "No No" to ship live critters across the border without a ton of permits, etc. I wanted to do a trade with a person (actually a couple of persons) in Canada, eh and was recently informed that this is unlawfull.
On the bright side, while tring to find out the legality of trades to Canada, I saw several threads on this sight from other Canadians. SO, there are some SWF people up there to trade with etc.
