ATTENTION ALL REPTILE OWNERS: YOUR PET WILL BE ILLEGAL
due to impending legislation currently proposed in Ohio unless you act now. The clock is ticking... time is running out. You stand to lose your rights as the owner of a harmless pet reptile, beginning with a ban of all snakes. Tomorrow it could be your bearded dragon, iguana, or tortoise.
As of November 2, 2011, there are two separate pieces of possible legislation in Ohio seeking to regulate or ban reptiles as pets.
OH House Bill 352 will ban all snakes.
Governor Kasich's exotic animal work group has proposed legislation which would restrict all species of boa and python.
THE TIME FOR ACTION BY ALL REPTILE OWNERS IS NOW!!! Today they want to ban snakes, tomorrow it could be bearded dragons, iguanas, and tortoises.

Do nothing and snakes will be banned now, next it could be bearded dragons, iguanas, and tortoises.
