A little bit on and a little bit off the subject.
Melissa Kaplan's info is great, she also has years of experience keeping and rehabilitating iguanas. No she has no biology degree, how many people giving care info about reptiles do?
As far as the ban on keeping reptiles. A lot of rescuers share that opinion. I guess I can understand it coming from their point of view. When they see countless reptiles being killed because of ill-informed keepers, I suppose it's kind of hard not to feel that way. I don't agree myself, although I would not be opposed to some sort of licensing or something if you keep over a certain number of reptiles. Kind of like kennel license requirements for people who keep a lot of dogs. Of course it would have to be very lenient and would have to differ from species to species. Keeping 10 ball pythons as opposed to 10 Iguanas are 2 totally different things.
