318 is a Florida state specific bill, it's not Federal. State Senator Sobel has been pushing this agenda since last year, this is just her latest press junket in order to gain support for her agenda.
Florida herpers are working very hard with Florida Fish and Wildlife through the ROC TAG working group to ensure that there are reasonable provisions in Florida for responsible reptile owners as well as protections for Florida's fragile ecosystems.
Keep our fellow Floridians involved in this fight in your thoughts and prayers.
