However, I was also informed that if this bill passes we will lose every python / boa no matter what size they can grow to.
I asked about permits and was told that permits were not going to be for private ownership, only for institutions deemed acceptable by the state.
I HATE HAVING TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING MY BELOVED PET !
That is all the info I have at this moment.

Maybe they should ban politicians. I would vote for that.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I don't know squat about cats, but I know a LOT of people who have them. Normally I would say I can't believe they would ban house cats and dogs, but now I really don't know.
If this ban goes into effect, we will be buying some land in Wyoming before Jan 1st, 2014. See ya Ohio! :mad:

Dear Ms. Gath,
Thank you for writing to share your thoughts on HB 352. As I stated to the media, and to local stakeholders, including owners and breeders of reptiles, I view the Strickland executive order language as a good starting place, and I am open to recommendations for improvement. I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in a meeting of Governor Kasich's workgroup, and appreciate the direction those recommendations are taking. I do intend to make some changes to the bill as it moves through the legislative process, and I welcome your suggestions on ways to improve it. Thanks again for taking the time to get involved, and help work toward good public policy in Ohio.
Sincerely,
Debbie Phillips
