Impending TX legislation - DEADLINE TODAY!!!

They need to be educated on the differences of WC, CB. I think there is a difference in the snakes temperment, when its a WC or CB.

Thank you for all the valued input! We are working on the revision now and a newly revised bill should be available next week for review. I will keep you all posted.

Well if they include those above mentioned species, I hope there will still be a permit available.. since I own two of those species.

From what I understand, there will.

It seems so.. but I'm still worried about it.

I got an e-mail back from Dave Barker regarding the permits they intend to instate for venomous and giant constrictors:

This law creates only a registry for the snakes the Committee perceives as
potentially danger. It does not ban them, nor does it require any
inspections or qualifications. They simply require that the owners of large
snakes and, more importantly, venomous snakes be registered so that
first-line responders will know about this "hazard" at given locations.

I can't say what the Texas Legislators will come up with in future years,
but right now, other than some city and county ordinances, your big snakes
should be welcomed in the State.

Thank you Jason for the LINKS. :blowkiss:

Thanks Jason. I thought Dave was very well spoken and did a great job of showing the respectable side to herpers.

I only had time to watch the first one now.. he did a fantastic job, and I think I will write him a thank you letter for doing that for us.
