THE SNAKE BAN IS COMING TO CALIFORNIA!

[reptastic]

Im ok with the fee idea perhaps that would whip some of those no good keepers into shape but idk if I'm ok with an inspcection, that's kinda a violation of privacy in my opinion, perhaps a record of vet visits perhaps the way they do dogs

The inspection would be for the welfare of the animal, so unless if you were keeping the animal poorly it really wouldn't be anything to worry about.

Inspections equal money! I work at a wildlife center and we pay over $1000 a year in inspection fees, not even permitting fees. Granted we have some animals on display so we have more inspection due to that. I am fine with having to get a permit that to me is not big deal.

I wouldn't mind a nominal permit fee as well as clearly defined regulations / laws about housing, unlawful release. While they won't stop the problems, if people think that they may face some sort of offense if they are not careful, it will hopefully keep some miscreants out of the hobby.

 

[Rhetoric]

I've always been supportive of permits. It would be one more obstacle to help weed out some of the owners. I am not really a snake person, let alone a large snake person but I don't think it should be illegal to own them. I think people should be educated before they can become owners. The same goes for any animal.

Maybe we should do a donation drive for USARK?

I would chip in as I'm able. Things are a little tighter but I would happily donate what I can.
