Am I NUTS or do you feel the same?

I'm actually a huge proponent of regulating reptile breeding. If it were to be regulated I feel it would help prevent the individuals interested solely in the money but I could be wrong. Anyone else feel this might be a step in the right direction for responsible reptile breeders? The logical part of my brain also thinks that if this somehow involved teaching selling to responsible keepers it might help prevent species specific regulations... though I know nothing about law so definitely don't quote me on that.

Imo there should be some kind of regulation or permit required to breed any animal, maybe with a $100~$500 registration fee, depending on the species... LOL. It's a super long shot, but it would at least filter out the random ding dongs who impulsively buy 10 ball pythons for kicks, or throw their two random dogs together for a quick buck. Something like that.
