Nope. USFWS does not accept or recognize CITES 1 downgrades for CB, or the use of CITES 1 animals as "pets". The possibilities of importing CITES 1 animals for any purpose are very stringent and limited, and hobbyist/pet use is a non-starter. The same applies for ESA species, such as California tiger salamanders - fine in other countries, but can't import, export, or cross state lines for pet use.

Where would you keep it, anyway? I want an otter but I'd need to buy a spread with a pond first! Even an iguana needs its own room!
