>>The Commission also approved further security measures for commercial reptile dealers in how they transport snakes and lizards in Florida. New rules also require that the nonnative conditional species be held indoors or outdoors only with a fixed, secure roof over the enclosure. All of these animals also must be micro-chipped, unless they will be exported out of Florida within 180 days.



With today's technology micro-chipping is just about as idiotic as this ban. Why require an invasive surgical procedure that can easily be undone when a simple DNA test would do and could not be defeated?
