And here is the part that no-one has even thought about yet. I have never had any of these large snakes, but think about what I am about to say.

I live in NE Arkansas and my reptile vet is in Memphis TN... just across the state line. Now if I want to take my reptile to the vet I am commiting a felony because I crossed state lines to see my vet.

Since when has the US Govt cared about the constitiution? How many times have they trampled all over it.

You are correct....IT IS A FELONY

Oh... I know Im correct. I was making a statement not asking a question. My point is... that folks that are in the same boat as me (where they live vs. where their vet is) could get in major trouble just for taking a sick or injured animal into the vet. The same vet that they have seen for years or decades. It's not like reptile vets are a dime a dozen. In some areas of the country they are hard to come by.

Better join USARK we need to combine our efforts!!!!!!!!!!

I live in PA and I have yet to find a vet that has a clue about reptiles...I usually had to tell them what is wrong and what I need to fix it when I WAS RUNNING a Reptile Rescue. I still have one that calls me to this day to ask for advice...
