This is Florida laws, I don't see how it would impact other states. BUT>....

(2)(a) No person, party, firm, association, or corporation
96 shall keep, possess, import into the state, sell, barter, trade,
97 or breed the following species for personal use or for sale for
98 personal use:

Then it lists the 7 species. So.. no, you CANNOT breed or sell any of those within the state as that is worded. Reading though the whole stupid thing is giving me a headache. But there is a section saying you CAN own the animals you legally owned before the bill.. you simply cannot do anything with them. It does not say you can breed them.. only possess them if you had them before the bill.

Near the end of the bill is this...
Section 7. By December 31, 2010, the Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission shall evaluate the placement of
additional species, such as iguanas, on the list of reptiles of
concern.

Which leaves it open for them to add more by Dec of this year.

Might of reworded it since last time i read it. I remember it saying you can still breed/sell them within state lines just can not be shipped over the borders and such.

Still dont see why northern states like Where im at is getting the hammer when we have Below 0 temps for weeks-months at a time. No snake not native to the North will survive that.

This current Bill applies to Florida, but it provides a precedence to base Federal legislation on. Basically Florida is enacting their own version of the HR and Senate bills that we have been fighting for the last year, 669, 2811, and 373...

Dark days ahead for Daytona...

The sunny side is that at the state level the citizens of florida will have an easier time changing it if they really organize and make there voices heard. It can be done.
