USF&WS deadline for comments is Oct. 11, (they will accept comments the
next few days of the next week, but no more.)  

so if you have anything to say about the proposed CITES listing of Al.
Snapper, Map turtle, softshells, timber rattlers,  and sailfin lizards, on
CITES II and heloderma to CITES I now is the time to speak up.

Full copies of the proposals, fed. registers and mailing adresses are on
Steven Grenard's herpmed page for reading and downloading.  Feel free to
pass them along if you are a teacher, they are great species summaries and
examples of what the gov't requires for action.

(I thank him for taking the time to translate them to html and posting
them.)  

Please act now, send in your letter for or against.
 
If you are for, now is really the time to act since the next opportunity
is two years away at the next CITES meeting.
