It wasnt clear in my previous post, but the pet stores I was discussing are located in the citys of Janesville and Beloit.

Several years ago the Beloit Memorial Hospital tried to hire me to bring reptiles to a Jurassic Park theme party. I asked them to send me written approval from the city government that this would be permitted. The city sent me a questionnaire with strange questions about my security precautions and measures to protect the public from harm . I sent back the questionaire with a photo of one of my Neodesha display cages with tortoises inside and an adult red tegu perched on top of the cage. On the form I wrote smart-ass answers such as, that my cages were secured with the high-quality black metal binder clips manufactured in Chinese prisons, as seen on the photo. In addition, the exhibit area was patrolled by several of these large carnivorous attack-trained guard-lizards that would promptly bite off the fingers of anyone attempting open cages and release animals. I also stated that in all of the years I have exhibited reptiles, only a few people have ever been attacked and killed by them. They issued a permit to allow me to bring reptiles to this party.
