Some cities and counties will only allow permits if you notify neighbors within a certain geographical area of yuor residence and no one submits their concerns in writing within 30-60 days, even then you may offer a rebuttal to any concerns raised, in order to satisify the permiting entities needs... Such organizations like sound data to quell such concerns, I'd submit an adendum to your permit application citing the scientific community in regards to the actual 'threat' Heloderms pose, time to do some homework! Also, you may consider submitting the most recent copy of the CDC's mortality and injury statistics report, just the area relating to mortalities and injuries caused by animals, as 'mans best friend' kill and injure far more people each year than reptiles.

Good luck!
