    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've been digging for this list online and have had no success in finding it. If anyone knows the site that has a list of prohibited animals to possess in the state of California, could you please PM me or email me?

Thank you!

Making an amendment to my prev. post...looks like I found the list. It popped up in a PDF format. :D

Essentially it looks like crocodilian species and several hots are restricted, but that's about it...as far as non-native species go anyhow.

I guess my only other question is...do you have to have a permit in CA to breed your own reptiles if they are NON-native species??

Thanks again!

Oops, Missed this post.
 
Thanks again Dennis!

At least what you posted on the reptiles can be viewed by everyone else now too. :)

Much appreciated.

Hugs,
