Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Nope. It's only applicable to those species which are native to Ohio.

Ken,
Am I missing something? I don't see where the revised code mentions anything about native or exotic. Maybe I just reading through it too fast

That I am aware of, OAC 1501 deals solely with the administrative side of the OH DNR.
Regulations regarding the possession of herps can be found in the OAC. The cite provided was OAC 1533.71, which references back to OAC 1533.70, which in turn references back to OAC 1531.01. The definitions, which are applicable to 1533.71 are provided in 1531.01. They state:

your right Ken, sorry . It does only apply to natives. Just seems odd to me they would write a new code that just repeates the old code. And word it the way they did there.

Nothing really surprises me when it comes to Ohio anymore.
Bear in mind that this is the only state that I am aware of whose laws are written to consider defendants guilty until proven innocent in certain felony cases. It seems that Gov Taft and the Ohio legislature consider both the US and Ohio Constitutions to be null and void within the geographical borders of their state.

A new problem shipping/receiving and everything else
The state of Ohio is now requiring anyone shipping animals into Ohio or anyone in Ohio getting animals shipped to them, to notify the government prior to shipping with carrier, contents, recipient, arrival and more info. If you live in Ohio, this is the last straw. They are killing the pet trade and hobby of pets of any kind in Ohio. They have included crickets, fish, reptiles and all other animals in this restriction! This is a huge problem! The entire pet trade including PIJAC will now be focused on Ohio and the battle lines are now drawn. This is a big deal. Get involved before it is too late. Donate money to PIJAC. Write, call, fax, harrass your elected officials. Do something now. I am going to court in Ohio to get started on my situation. Imagine if your local pet store had to go through a customs like clearing process for international shipments just to get in crickets or goldfish.

Just the first step for the government to take away are freedom. They are just going to take and take.
