Fees are a necessary evil to do business. As long as the fees are being used properly, I never have a problem with them. Keeping venomous herps should be a very expensive hobby between proper caging, set ups, safety protocols, antivenin, etc. An annual permit fee should be a drop in the bucket compared to keeping A/V. Just my .02.

>>Alright, I'll bite. What exactly do you believe a "hefty" permit fee would accomplish other than taking away money a keeper could spend on other things like improving safety and caring for their animals?

>>Define "hefty" first, in case we're having a context issue...
