Thanks for the suggestions. (Especially the one about feeding the snitcher to the Burm . Unfortunately, my largest reptile is a 900g BP. Maybe next year when she's all grown up. ... and rest easy I have no thought of ratting out any other herpers.

Actually I've been doing more research and it looks like the current bylaw is currently being amended to allow "non-venomous reptiles the will not cause injury". I have my City Counsellor looking into that for me. If that doesn't provide any hope we still have a few more ideas. Thanks for all of your suggestions and well wishes. I will keep you posted.
