So who is leading this? and can they (or someone else) please get a summary of this whole thing on ALL the forums here on Kingsnake.com? This will effect many people, and we want EVERYONE to know about this so as we can be more affective.



Ok, I don't know much about the subject. I only have lizards, no snakes (yet). Plus I'm from Florida. But I'm into collared lizards, and this bill will prevent the diversity needed to continue the captive breeding of the texas collared lizards (the local sub species). There are few captive breeding projects of c.l. period, and texas collareds are only a part of them.



SOOOO... we need to be able to get wild caught females and males to continue to get a good captive population, and this bill will harm the effort to get more captive bred lizards on the market.



Thus, if anyone could get a base-facts idea down and put it on all the forums, we can allow EVERYONE to start fighting for the right to responsible collecting of wild reptiles... I don't have a problem with legislation until it is so strong it disallows something flat out with no wiggle room... Anyhoo, I've gone on long enough. Good luck everyone! I'll do what I can.
