Which state is the Herp State?

I'm quite curious that, because of the situation in regards to local beliefs on reptiles, politics, and exotic pet laws, and many other differing factors such as local laws, that local populations of reptile keepers must be effected in some form, including how many herpers there may be in one region. So I'm wondering, what do you all think is the most concentrated state of herpers and what is the most herp-friendly state? Due to import facilities and the like a couple decades ago, I'd assume Florida was once the place to be for reptile associates, but now, as times have changed, so have the number of herpers, laws, and concentration of herpers in one region. So what do you all think? What state is now the reptile central for America?
