we do need to see what is going to be proposed. But we as reptile community have to take this as a warning and realize we can no longer just be a group of animal breeders. we as a community make up a large part of a multi billion dollar a year industry. And that it is time to start setting up a system that will protects us as a whole. There are many groups out there who want to see us gone and they have the money and power to have lobbyist fight for them. Now its is our time to do the same. The gov't knows the dog and cat industry is to Strong to pull this with but the unorganized reptile breeder are not. The truth is a bunch of letters saying I love my snakes I want to sell my snakes and keep my snakes is a good start but it is just a small step that can easily be shot down. we cannot feel if we back down they will only take a inch because we all know they will take a mile.

this is just my 2 cents
I truly feel we need 2 be heard and we need a powerful group or person to do our talking
