All good points.

But today's reptiles industry does make money. Boat loads of it. Last I heard (don't ask me where) upwards of 2 bil/year. So why is government fighting against the herp industry tooth and claw? Once again, the money trail only takes you so far. When you pit 2 billion against generations of deep seated fear and misunderstanding, the money still looses!

Until we get a "first boa constrictor" in the white house to keep the "first Portuguese water dog" company we are all SOL.
