I am hoping somebody could possibly help me out.

I serve in The US Coast Guard and am cuurently stationed in the Seattle area.
I am attempting to move to the Florida area with anticipation of moving to the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area or the Jacksonville area.
I possess many exotic animals. Yellow Naped Amazon (bird), Sulpher Crested Cockatoo (Bird), Sun-Day Conure (bird), Senegal Parrot (bird), Cockatiel (bird), 6 Panther Chameleons (reptile), Veiled Chameleon (reptile), 5 Bearded Dragons (reptile), Mali Uromastyx (reptile), Fat-tailed Gecko (reptile), Red-Tailed Boa (reptile), corn snake (reptile) and a weimaraner (dog).

Are there any laws or regulations regarding any of the animals that I own. I DO breed a small amount of bearded dragons each year as well as a small amount of Panther Chameleons. By no means is it a business, more of a hobby. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

I have searched the interent and I am still unsure of any laws. I prefer to ask the average person rather than asking Law Enforcement due to the fact that when I moved to the Seattle area I inquired with the local law enforcement about my animals and the King County Sherrif Deputy that I talked with, told me that most of the reptiles I owned were not allowed within King County, which I later found out was not true at all and there were no regulations concerning non-venomous reptiles in King County.

Thank You
