The Reptile Rescue is watching it and they are more interested in dogs and cats. They refused to deal with the carnivals with iguanas because "they had their hands full with dog and cat issues"

Yeah, but reptile people need to watch the dog and cat issues, just in case a limit is put on the number of "companion" animals a person can possess, a breeding regulation, or pass a manditory neuter legislation. The wording is everything. Even if reptiles aren't listed as companion animals in a state now, they could be in the future.
