heres an excerpt from sb310...nothing says "break in to my house and steal my snakes" like signs posted every 10 feet. No doubt the state will be glad to give you fair market value for your stolen animals.
THe fees and insurance requirements are also rediculous...1k if you want to breed snakes, and you must carry 500k insurance if you have more than 16 animals..one boa litter.
Demand will sure drop off..and costs go up..
Sec. 935.18. (A) Except for a restricted snake specified in division (K)(1) of section 935.01 of the Revised Code, no person shall sell or offer for sale at auction a dangerous wild animal or restricted snake.
