I have to admit, I'm afraid of too many people knowing about ours. Maybe it's a Florida thing. Hobby herps have a terrible reputation because so many are being released or escaping. When I take my Burm to a public event or if someone knows I have him, the number one question I get is, "Are these the ones that are loose in the Everglades?" I do let mine go around in the backyard for a stretch, and in the front yard on occasion. I'm still not entirely sure my city code would allow me to have the amount of herps that I have. Someone here said that state law trumps city code, but I'm not sure about that. I have a pesky neighbor that would probably call if he thought I was violating...grrr! There was talk in the paper that a lobby group wanted exotic owners to have to disclose to their neighbors exactly what they were keeping.
