I don't think he meant to imply that those animals shouldn't be owned, but is trying to say we need to define what those animals mean to the industry and to personal owners/breeders. At least that is what i took from his last few posts.



I agree, there should be some sort of self-policing within the herp community, unfortunately we cant just make a thread or poll and vote up a group to do such. And that is assuming that the majority of the community wants any such thing around, i think they do but it doesn't make it any easier to bring it into existence.



How does a group go about becoming certified and recognized like the AZA? Did someone just say " Hey you guys can go around the country and figure out who can stay and who should go...you can like take money from them and shut them down and stuff while you're at it." I mean there has to be some serious paperwork and politics involved with this stuff.
