i read through it a couple of times. i didn't see anything about any reptiles in there.
i saw that emg posted about "even pet frogs" but i didn't see that part. maybe i just missed it.
while i'm not sure how i would react if they passed a law against the reptiles i keep, i do believe there should be some regulations in place. for example... i was in a pet shop once and heard a sales person tell a lady and kid that the burmese python would stay small as long as they kept it in a 10 gallon aquarium. i about blew a gasket. then you have the jackasses that get large reptiles and then release them here in florida. it's a common thing to have large pythons, monitors, and tegus show up here. or up north the genius that let lose large dangerous animals.
there are many responsible pet owners out there. there are always going to be a few jackasses that screw things up though.
while i don't think exotics should be banned, i do think that there should be some regulations. too many people getting them without the proper knowledge or means to take care of them. just my 2 cents...
