Hey Tim, That's more what I'm getting at. If there was an orginizational body that specialized more in that area. I too have no problem with their caging/husbandry requirements, in fact the other night was the first time I had really read both AZA's and ZAOA's guidlines and I meet or exceed their requirements in 99% of my stuff (I do have an ackie in a cage smaller than what they require for varanids but it more than meets their requirements that size lizard so I'm not sure if it would be in violation or not). I think most responsible/professional breeders and keepers probably do meet or exceed the requirements, neither one really seems geared towards our specific area that may give some ground when going up against some of the BS laws being passed that says 'hey I'm a professional and not some dumb kid with a cobra in his closet'.
