V. komodensis are all owned by the governement of Indonesia, are protected by International, national, laws. They are illegal to be transported or moved without permission by the National Zoo in Washington, Interpol, and Indonesioan presidential decree. The animals are under CITES 1 protection (illegal to import/export in almost every country), they are also under the dangerous wild animals law that covers lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, etc.
I found how to get a komodo legally, but its no easy task, you must prove to the above listed organizations that you have an indoor setup with appropriate security to protect the animal and the public, you must prove also that your possession of sadi animal will contribuite to its conservation, biological studies, and /or captive propogation.
On the black market they sold years ago for $35,000 a piece for young ones.
