Hello and g'day all.
I've been givin a brief explanation in the past regarding how and why there are really no true bibron geckos in N. America, but I've never come to a conclusion.
So with that said, I would like positive input and feedback regarding my related searches.
Here are my sources:

So if I get this straight, (again all feedback welcomed) in 1948 South Africa (as a country) introduced apartheid.
Apartheid- "Under which the rights of the majority 'non-white' inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy and minority rule by Afrikaners was maintained."
From the 50's - 80's there was next to zero trade between south africa and any other nations.
It got so bad that other nations we're influencing neighbouring nations to boycott S.Africa.
In the 1980s, the anti-apartheid movements in the United States and Europe were gaining support for boycotts against South Africa, for the withdrawal of U.S. firms from South Africa and for the release of Mandela. South Africa was becoming an outlaw in the world community of nations.
1981 - The Treaty establishing the Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern Africa was signed in December 1981, as a first step towards higher forms of regional economic cooperation and integration to bring about sustainable growth and development of Member States. The Treaty came into force in September 1992 following ratification by nine Member States.
With the PTA in effect S.Africa started working exports and imports with other country’s, not long later COMESA came into effect. COMESA main goal was to maintain the rise in economics that the PTA had started.
COMESA: member States of S.Africa have agreed on the need to create and maintain:
-a full free trade area guaranteeing the free movement of goods and services produced within COMESA and the removal of all tariffs and non-tariff barriers;
-a customs union under which goods and services imported from non-COMESA countries will attract an agreed single tariff all COMESA States;
free movement of capital and investment supported by the adoption of common investment practices 50 as to create a more favourable investment climate for the entire COMESA region:
-a gradual establishment of a payments union based on the COMESA Cleaning House and the eventual establishment of a common monetary union with a common currency;
the adoption of a common visa arrangement, including the right of establishment leading eventually to free movement of bona fide persons.
You guys are more than welcome to look over the sources, but i believe that during this period where nations were boycotting Africa that Bibrons gecko (P. Bibronii) were not exported into N. America.
Feel free to add input! Enjoy!
