Neither are spadefoot toads, glossy snakes, striped racers, red rattlesnakes, patchnosed snakes, fringed toed lizards and a truck load of other things now banned. The big picture here is United Nations Agenda 21 and The Peoples Republic Of California is totally on board. If the residents of CA don't raise hell now about this, get ready for rosys, desert kings, gopher snakes, Utas, and every reptile in the state to be added to the list plus all areas containing these animals to be designated for non use. Look it up. This is real. Here in Nevada we are fighting legislation banning a lot of exotic animala and they just added native rattlesnakes to the bill...which is ignorant as there is no lack of those around here and no real commercial value. It was written by the Humane Society but the endgame is Agenda 21. They want to ban dogs and cats by 2025. Look it up. You will find that UN Agenda 21 is in all levels of government now. They don't identify it as that, they use terms like "sustainable" and "smart growth" and "going green". They promote artificial scarcity to get the public on board. All "smart" appliances and "smart" phones all hook into the same centralized systems and anytime you hear these terms, it's Agenda 21. I urge everyone in California to email and call the California Department of Fish and Game and express how ridiculous their new regs are. For instance, who can tell me what mountain range zonata occur in Imperial county? Black Mtn?? What a joke. Also, I would also go as far as to boycott purchasing fishing licenses and refrain from any reptile hunting or fishing activity. Hit 'em where it hurts! I buy a fishing license every year...out of state which is very pricey, but for the first time, not this year! Please contact your representatives and get some attention on this issue or kiss your rights goodbye. To see what's happening in Nevada, go to the Southern Nevada Herpetological Society website...
