i agree with cyclura guy, i own a green iguana, a rhino iguana, and three argentine tegus all animals that will reach 4' or more 2 of which are 4'. all of them exept the green iguana were shipped from breeders in florida. now if they pass the lacey act whats to stop them from coming after larger lizards next? to everyone who keeps talking about the everglades if they were succesful in removing all the species that are non-native(highly unlikely) who is to say another specie wouldnt pop up and replace that one. i am all for protecting the environment but we need to be realistic about this; how is this law going to help south florida. i do not keep snakes either so if this law was passed i wouldnt be affected by it but as stated before its only a window of opportunity and a matter of time to move to lizards and other reptile! dont get me wrong i really enjoy nature and am all for protecting but we cant solve the problem by throwing laws at it!
