I really don't think that we are talking about people who are slime balls affecting our hobby. I believe we are talking about finding or creating an organization that protects our rights. Protecting our rights to produce and buy captive bred reptiles is what I am talking about. I just don't know how to go about starting one. I guess using Marshall Myers {PIJAC) isn't the answer because they are too busy working on something. I guess Jeff (Kingsnake) doesn't want to help.

What I can't understand is the fact that Kingsnake makes its money off of captive bred reptile breeders and dealers selling captive bred stock. What could possibly be more important than fighting the issue of government agencies taking away our rights to buy, produce, and sell reptiles. Kingsnake's viablility and existence depends on it.

Having regulators state that New York endemic reptiles shall not be commercialized is both arrogant and stupid. As I stated previously the key to saving species is to make them economically valuable and promote captive breeding.

Cooperating with New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etc. regulatory officials is definetly not the answer.
