    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....

hey everyone, I have a question. since the Lacey act has been passed, does anyone know if law enforcement is doing anything about the reptile expos? for instance, I live in PA and if I decide to go to the expo in Maryland to get an anaconda/ Retic/ Burm (whatever) and drive it back to PA, what is the odds of getting caught? now, I do not plan on doing this, i'm just curious about how the law is enforcing the Lacey act during reptile shows. do they put up road blocks around the perimeter or state borders? do they check people randomly exiting the show? or they just don't care?... I don't support the Lacey act, I think it is absolutely ridiculous to make all states suffer because of Florida's problem. I am just curious if they are taking action against the expos.. anyone know? thanks.

1. 100% odds for the person foolish enough to try it and gets caught.
2. Great question, I have no insight on what is currently being done with this, sorry. At past expos I attended, State Fish & Wildlife always had booths about local fauna, and made the rounds. No issues, but this was prior to the last rounds of Burm/Anaconda Lacy rules.
 
I've seen Fish and Game in my state appear at some shows that I attend. With some, they were present from the start. The most recent time, someone attending the show called them in on someone, which prompted them to take a look around the show for anything else that shouldn't have been there.
