I do have questions myself regarding this proposal as well:

1) Could the venomous animals be more specifically defined, such as by

scientific family (i.e viperidae, elapidae, etc)? As the section is currently written, would it be applicable to every species with a duvernoy's gland (such as Heterodon and Thamnophis, or Hognose and garter snakes respectively)?



2) One section stated that animals must be registered locally. Would this section be a precautionary for

emergency personnal for the possible event of a natural disaster,

accident, or similar occurance affecting the animal keeper's facility that they would need to respond to?



3) Also in the registration section, it states that the animals must

be registered by a specific deadline. Would this mean that owners who

wish to keep these species after the deadline has passed will not be

able to register or do so?
