all i can say is Wow...

Think about all the people that work in these petstores getting laid off because some senator got a sick goldfish. Think about ponds/lakes that are stocked... guess what.. invasive species... bye,bye...

hybrid stipers gone...

People's pets... I can't even begin to list Cats, Dogs, Reptiles, Birds, ect...

Animals in Zoo's are subject to this law too...

Yup our precious tax money at work people!!!

Proposed Bill H.R. 669

First off, you comments scream that you didn't read it.

And its a bad thing to block out invasive species why?

Wrong, they're native and exist for an economic reason.

Considering the pathetic level of care most herps and snakes get, good. Little Johnny didn't need that Burmese Python that'll end up getting too big anyhow.

Name a single cat that is imported on a consistent basis? Howabout a dog that would be listed as an "invasive species"?

This proves you did NOT read it.

I completely agree. People should need a license to keep iguanas, some monitors and snakes and definately some species of tortise.

I've kept a lot of reptiles in my life and even for an adult it requires a lot of effort to provide good captive husbandry.

But, that little Nile Monitor is so cut and only 12" long :eek5:

-spence

Asian Water Monitors have recurved teeth.
And they hurt. Alot.

i so need to find that picture of john after he got bit in the face by that burm.

Alright Spence, That just sounds weird:hee:

Yes, you do.
