Heads up to NJ residents
I was reading an article on an abandoned retic found in NJ. The article can be read here http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey...9483221740.xml
What caught my attention though was some comments made by Bill Boesenberg, a rehabber in NJ. I'll excerpt his part of the article here: Quote:
There's only four species of python that could possibly be comsidered dangerous. To try to qualify balls, children's, or such as dangerous is just ignorance at it's highest. I did some more searching and came up with his website, http://snakes-n-scales.com/ His email and phone number are on the main page of that site. I don't know anything about him, but if he is quoted accurately in that article, his agenda needs to be stopped and quickly before it gains a foothold in the state legislature. |
I emailed the guy through the website you provided, I am hoping to get some sort of response. Negative or positive.
Here is a copy of the email I sent to him Hello, let me first start by introducing myself. My name is Randall L Turner Jr, and I am a keeper of various reptiles. Do not take this as an attack or anything negative, as I am simply interested in finding out the connection if any to you and the article, and the quote that they site by you (if you are the same Mr Boesenberg they quote). I was curious as to what legal action you are seeking to work within the state legislature of New Jersey regarding the keeping/ownership of pythons. Also I was wondering what form of factual based evidence you will be using for your submission of the proposal. Thank you for your time, I understand you are probably a busy person. I would appreciate a response of some kind regardless of the answer, as it will be shared with many of the members of the herping community. Randall L Turner Jr email at randysherps@hotmail.com www.aircapitalconstrictors.com I kind of doubt I will receive a response, but if I didn't email him I wouldn't know..lol Later |
Randy,
There is another thread on this HERE that shows some of the follow up from Bill Boesenberg on the issue. |
Diamond back terrapins
Isn't selling wild caught diamondback terrapins in New Jersey illegal as they are a native species?
As I recall, it's basically illegal to own native turtles much less sell them in NJ. There's a gal on Kingsnake from NJ selling medium sized diamondbacks at a good price. At that price (5 for $100 or 20 each for $350), my guess is they've been poached and are not CB animals. Mark Allen |
Yep...
"The collection or sale of any species of turtles in the state of New Jersey is illegal" (taken from the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife application book). All turtles are ban for sale (no sales within the state or from out of state and shipped into the state) by the NJ Department of Health.
This is my understanding only...Best to call NJ Fish & Wildlife Law Enforcement office at 609-259-2120 Good Luck! |

diamond back terrapins
does any one knowthe legalities of these guys for Fla.??????????

I am considering getting into indigos and cribos (real good offer from someone) but am not sure of thier status in NJ. I know that the eastern indigo is a no-no but what about all the rest. I checked the state web site but it only lists the non-permit required animals not a specific list of whats not allowed and what needs a special permit in order to keep. thanks ahead of time for any help on this.
