Connecticut State Reptile Laws and Regulations

Hey guys I know it's been a while since I've been on here but I was snooping around the net and found this. I haven't been able to find (untill now) the CT state laws reguarding reptiles and I am going to attempt to make it easier for everyone else to find them if wanted, so without further adue here they are.
