Yes, thus the mention of breeding facilities.
A permit for the large boids, large monitors, and venomous is not a bad idea. It's already implemented in florida. I think that a short questionaire to be sure the person understands the requirements wouldn't be a bad idea either.
A seperate permit for BREEDERS would also have a test about requirements, but would have one fee for xx number of animals. Perhaps a larger fee for a larger number, so that small hobby breeders are not paying the same as a larger commercial breeder.
I seriously think that any import laws should be kept seperate from laws about captive keeping and breeding. That would simplify it, as we can draft two bills, and know what is in each.
The hobby needs to stand up and address the issues, and help solve it, so that no one else tries to with disasterious consequances, like the currant bills.
