PHFaust: On behalf of Jeff Barringer and all of us at kingsnake.com, Andrew Wyatt, president of US Ark to our chat this evening.

PHFaust: With the current probable defeat of HR669 as it was written, AB1122 in CA, and SB3079, we reptile keepers are entering new waters for ourselves.

PHFaust: Andrew is an Eco-Tour operator on the Outer Banks of NC. He is also a python breeder and Master Falconer. His animals have been featured in National Geographic Channel productions. In 2005 he co-founded the NC Association of Reptile Keepers. He is the co-founder and President of the US Association of Reptile Keepers.

PHFaust: Andrew has a passion for the hobby as well as our rights to continue to keep these animals. USARK has moved to take a pre-emptive approach and assist in fair and just laws rather than waiting for the hammer to fall on the entire hobby. North Carolina's S307 is an example, responsible legislation for herpers by herpers.

PHFaust: The mission statement of USARK is The US Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) is a science and education based advocacy for the responsible private ownership of, and trade in reptiles. We endorse caging standards, sound husbandry, escape prevention protocols, and an integrated approach to vital conservation issues. Our goal is to facilitate cooperation between government agencies, the scientific community, and the private sector in order to produce policy proposals that will effectively address important husbandry and conservation issues. The health of these animals, public safety, and maintaining ecological integrity are our primary concerns.

PHFaust: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls I present Andrew Wyatt, president of USARK!

USARK: thank you
