Like everything else involving religion it's open to biblical interpretation. Personal perception.I can't speak for God or the entire US. What I was taught was that animals were put on earth for mans use. I don't know of any passages in ether the old or new testament that specifically apply to reptile keeping , but there are several that state animals are mans possessions even going as far as to say ..if one man loses his animals and they are found by another they should be returned.
