That is a very a very good explaination of the current state of occi's and multi's in the U.S. Kim. It really does seem to be a matter of money and time right now, meaning the less money you have to spend, the more time it will take before these species are available to you. The good news is, it looks like there is a very good chance that the numbers of both will increase in the next decade.

I was hoping that someone would have posted some pictures by now, but since no one has, here is one that a friend sent me first thing this morning:

I was hoping for pics, as well. Thanks for sharing your friend's images with us, Jeff. Those are really nice animals! One of the best looking Tiliqua, for sure.

A bit too rich for my blood at this point. I hope that someone from the US gets a few and has success with them.
