Later on today I thought about this post again. Actually, my commercial license is just a Class III permit for which I pay $50 and list inventory. Any permit holder is open for inspection at any time. The criteria for my commercial permit is MUCH lighter than my ROC. That's an interesting move.

Since anyone who bred and sold Burms in FL was really supposed to have a Class III permit anyway, this really didn't accomplish much except drive private ownership underground. There was a free pet ownership permit for reptiles before the ROC, but I don't think anyone ever got one.
