I don't see how this legislation affects reptile shows. The coordinators apply for permits and they are held (and hold vendors) to high standards.

This legislation applies to people who are at events that do not center around reptiles (or any other animal). The people selling animals at these events are hoping to make sales based on impulse buys.

Normally, I think that less legislation is better than more. but I don't have a problem with this bill. It would prohibit the sale of things like red-eared sliders at flea markets.

The days of reptile shows don't have to be numbered if the reptile community can continue to keep, breed and sell these animals in a responsible manner.
