In this state you can not be licensed as a certified day care center if you have reptiles. Everything else is pretty much OK, but not amphibians or Reptiles.

Subp. 12.
Pets.

All pets housed within the residence shall be maintained in good health and limited to dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, hamsters, rats, mice, and birds if the birds are clear of chlamydia psittaci. The provider shall ensure that:

I don't know why they do it like that. It makes no sense, but the fact remains that you can't be licensed if you own reptiles. You can still run a day care center, but it would be an unlicensed facility. Perhaps elderly care is the same?
