NRBE Daytona Auction
This year the National Reptile Breeders Expo (NRBE) Auction at Daytona on Saturday August 20th will benefit the United States Association of Reptile Keepers. The money raised will go toward two very important USARK projects; 1) Challenging USFWS proposed Rule Change adding 9 constrictor snakes (including Boa constrictor) to the Injurious Wildlife list of the Lacey Act 2) The first comprehensive Economic Assessment of the Herp Industry ever done. Please donate to the auction and help make this fundraising effort an unqualified success! You do not have to be a vendor or even in attendance to donate. Please donate generously!
Last year we raise d $40,000! This year we should raise even more! USARK has spent approximately $300,000 fighting the Rule Change... Let's win this fight now!!!
