I give up. You do what you like, and argue with a judge when it comes to that.

I've read all the regs and permits ad nauseum and I know what it says. If you want to get all English major on the laws and try to twist it to combine two SEPERATE sections to make it say what you want it say, you go ahead.

In Florida by law, you do not need a license to own a ball python.
In Florida by law, you do need a license to sell a ball python.

If you choose to go along with someone's "interpetation" of the laws, then so be it. I'll try to pretend to be sympathetic when you're ranting about confiscated animals and getting on the news adding to the media about "irresponsible reptile owners". I'll fail miserably, but I'll try to pretend.

I'm all finished now. My paperwork has been submitted, so if someone else goes off to jail, I've tried to do my part.
