Welcome to kingsnake.com's Reptile Law Support Center and Forum. kingsnake.com has partnered with the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC) and the National Reptile Amphibian Advisory Council (NRAAC) to help keep you up to date with reptile and amphibian laws and regulations. This center is designed to help pet owners, businesses, clubs, rescues, and other people interested in laws that impact reptiles as pets or in the wild, stay abreast of current regulatory efforts. Not all reptile laws are bad. Not all reptile laws are good. We want to give you the information to decide for yourself, and the tools to take positive action and help to determine the fate of these regulatory efforts. Please Note: We are not offering legal advice, and we are not going to tell you how to think. Our role is simply to facilitate the flow of information and create a web of communication between pet owners, businesses and organizations, make sure they are informed of pending regulations and the methods of response, and make sure that they have a voice in decisions, laws and regulations that impact reptiles and amphibians. If you are a new user to this forum, please take the time to review the rules first before posting: Terms of Service.
