I bought my first boas, pythons, monitors, tegus, caiman, etc from local pet stores in Milwaukee WI in 1965. Since then local pet stores here and all over the country have been continually selling these animals. Now all of a sudden they will all be illegal to own. Isnt this like allowing drug dealers to openly sell drugs, but its illegal for the user to buy them? Why isn't the criteria for regulation whether or not they are freely available at retail? Big Carnivores, venomous, yes-no pet stores sell those anyway and it is not a pitfall for the owner. Nonvenomous reptiles, whether constrictors or not, are out there in huge numbers. That makes for a lot of new criminals to feed into the justice and prison system, disenfranchise, and further empower the ruling class of neocons into an electoral majority.

Whoa...this is a pretty arbitrary line. ALL exotic animal owners should be working TOGETHER. Ideas like this, however benign they seem to you, is exactly the result the AR groups want. Divide and conquer.

That's a horrible proposal. Most reptiles are not widely available for purchase, would you really want the ownership of most reptiles illegalized?

"Most reptiles are not widely available for purchase, would you really want the ownership of most reptiles illegalized?"

In my city, most are, except for crocodilia and venomous, so I assumed they are as readily available elsewhere as well.

Dang, what city is that?

You do realize that there are over 8,000 species of reptiles, [even excluding crocodilians and venomous snakes] right?

This is ridiculous. Law makers probably feel like a swift generalized ban after the Zanesville lion/tiger/bear escapes last week will pass. It won't.
