Traveling

[Leolizard]

:!: I'm traveling with my family in a rv to canada and i have a bearded dragon that about 5 months old. I'm wondering if there is anything i have to bring for the beardie to cross the border. Like something that says i didn't steal him. Plz answer!!

I really am not sure about this, but I know that you cannot bring your lizard across the border. It is possible that you MAY be able to do it if you get your dragon checked by your vet to ensure that it is healthy/free of disease and parasites. But thats a guess. This is the only website I could find.

Also, beardie is a little young to endure that kind of stress..

This may be a bit late, but you might want to re-read that section:

Please be advised that amphibians and reptiles (excluding turtles and tortoises) are no longer regulated under the Health of Animals Regulations

As a result, no Canadian Food Inspection Agency import permit is required, nor a health certificate and no inspection will normally be done at the border.
