"It's much more dangerous this way because everyone has to keep things hidden," said Robert Applegate, who runs a reptile farm in Campo.
Applegate said he owns some of the only legal venomous reptiles in the county. He owned deadly Gila monsters and Mexican beaded lizards -- before they were outlawed -- and he pays a hefty fee to the county in order to keep them.
Applegate said the strict laws in San Diego are doing more harm than good.
"They have caused more problems by trying to prohibit it because the people that want it could still get it and there aren't any regulations, so it's more dangerous," said Applegate

Very nice Bob. Well done!
