That also happened here about two years ago. People are trying to locate this geckos and sell them to Chinese who are said to indeed turn them into cure forthose . However , the government issued a warning hat anyone caught selling or catching geckos for selling will be put to jail and penalized with 100,000.00 pesos or. $2,105.26 . That ended the selling of geckos herr , bt i don't know if it really was stopped altogether.

Yes of course but you can't do business. Because you will be prohibited by your country law soon.
