Or maybe he is just saying that because we are not allowed to have them in Massachusetts. The only monitor we can legal posses are ackies

Other monitor species, including nile monitors, can be owned in Massachusetts with a permit but he does not have one.

Just like they got AL Capone for Income Tax Evasion, this provides a secondary tool to go after abusers (at least in our county).

I know this thread is old, but in the original post he said he was insured, and based on the way he operates this is hard to beleive, maybe it's a law there but he was lying? If he won't pay to take care of them it's not too big of a stretch that he in fact isn't insured? Maybe if someone reported him the authorities in his area would actually do a basic check of things like that and maybe if he isn't current on that it'd be enough of a violation to seize the animals. Didn't have time to read entire thread so I apologize if I've missed something that makes this idea irrelevent, you seem like the best person to ask about this particular subject.

yes but the animal has to be CB and the permit process here is horrendous and takes for ever to go through.

He does not have to have insurance to operate a reptile show program in Massachusetts. Many schools, events, etc. will require he have it to operate on their grounds but as stated earlier there are zero guidelines/requirements/licenses needing to run a strictly reptile (other animals do bring more scrutiny) program in this state.

Now, if he is claiming he has insurance when he does not then maybe someone he hosted a show for could file some type of claim but would have to research that.
