FlCandy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I agree. If you are going to steal something, you should DEFINITELY steal a dolphin. I bet most of the people who are telling you not to steal hermits would gladly tell you to shove a dolphin up your rectum. LMAO! If your going to risk it you may as well go for the biscuit! ~ Quoted from Fired Up. Seriously don't do it, just so dumb when you can get them legally locally. Link to comment
cruiZe Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Steal a dolphin or buy hermits from reefcleaners for 45 cents. Link to comment
seabass Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sounds like a bad movie in the making. Crabs on a Plane. "Don't sit on the..." Ah, never mind. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm sick and tired of the mother F###### hermits on this mother F###### plane! Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Boys and girls just a quick reminder that planning illegal activity on a pulic forum is generally a bad idea and will likely get you a forum permaban, depending on the site. It will on this site anyway. Can I tell you what makes my 12 hour night shift just a bit brighter? Banning tweens. Thank you for this opportunity. Link to comment

johnmaloney Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 "sneaking" and "planes" is a horrible idea. Take the legal route, their is an exception for the permit rule for personal pet travel. The government realizes to require everyone who transports these personal items to carry a permit would be crazy. You just let them know what you are exporting, assuming it is not a species banned from export, (no hermits are), you will be cleared if you follow their procedures. Contact your US fish and Wildlife Service in Honolulu here: Honolulu, HI 3375 Koapaka St., #B296 Honolulu, Hawaii 96819-1867 Phone: (808) 861-8525 Fax: (808) 861-851 This assumes you have the proper license to have collected the hermits in the first place. That would be a different licensing/permitting issue and be controlled at the state level in most cases. In Hawaii it is my understanding at least, (which doesn't count b/c I am not licensed to practice law in Hawaii), that you would be OK in this case, it isn't listed as a prohibited item unless you plan to export for sale etc.. and there is no recreational license requirement if you used hand gear; http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/fishing.html 7) Aquarium Permit - required for any person to use fine mesh net for collecting aquatic life for an aquarium. Report required if commercial. No fee. HRS 188-31. Available online or from DAR offices. Marine recreational fishing: No license required. Found at: http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/licenses_permits.html (They interpret fine mesh net to be a barrier net or drop net. It isn't a hand held net, that falls under hand gear, bare hands is also hand gear, it is confusing but that is how it works. Since you aren't doing any of those activities, you wouldn't require that permit, you dont collect hermits with a fence net.) What you are planning to do can be legal, just call and get clearance with US fish and Wildlife, or make it known to the security team at the airport, or even your carrier desk can help you with such things. edit - Yeah see here is HI's invert rule summary with link to the full rule...it is out of date in my opinion, and focuses on the hobby as a Tropical Fish Only hobby, it hasn't been updated since the advent of the reef tank much. (Compare to much stricter and comprehensive invertebrate regs in Florida) The coral and live rock restriction do, but those were federally imposed on every state in the union, it isn't a Hawaiian thing. http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/regulated_fish_mia.html Link to comment

BLoCkCliMbeR Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 even if the TSA turned their noses up at the fact he had "shells" he would never be able to take enough water with him for WC etc. they wont survive. shoot they wont let you take a bottle of water you buy AT THE AIRPORT with you on the plane... ive taken coral and algae in my luggage before, it has to go in your suitcase, which go into a cargo area on the plane thats not tempature controlled. again, they wont survive Link to comment
rgoodwill Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I can't stop luling at everyone that thinks he is going to get in trouble... People citing the law lol...Hawaii also has a law that you can be fined for putting a coin in your ear... IF and that is a big IF he gets caught all they would do is toss the crabs... Link to comment

Boboli Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have done this before but previous to 911! I went to the ABC store and bought tupperware and duct tape put my fish and crabs and live rock in the containers the morning of my return flight! Kinda looked like a bomb all taped up shoved it in my luggage between all my layers of clothes! Got it home put all in my tank and the fish jumped out a few months later! Ever since I have had bad luck! Link to comment
