I thought retics were not on the Lacey act, only pending. I'll look into that later when the time is nearing, and when I feel better because ho boy I am sick and I want to curl up and die right now. The one thing I do worry about is the feeding because if I'm successful with breeding live mice, that won't be a problem in the earlier months when it's small, but rabbits can get pretty pricey and it was a lot of money for just the mice stuff, so I don't know about breeding them.

I know by the time I get another snake I'll be working part time somewhere that can get me money for food but there's still a lot of other factors in the world to consider. Gas, medicine, food for myself, etc. I don't think my parents are going to back me up for that long. Hopefully when I get the snake, it'll accept f/t because as much as I like live, it's a hassle to go out to the store and get one, care for them when the snake doesn't eat, etc. But then I'd have to get frozen mice for the snake when it's younger to keep it used to that type of prey, and I can probably find some pet store that'll take in young feeder mice if I breed too many babies.

I'll defiantly try to remember to message you when the time is coming and I think I'll look into getting a mainland retic, just because it's said that they're more likely to be more docile. I have to learn about this USARK program, too.

Thanks.

They are very much on the lacy act - but it is part of the law suit and the injunction filed granted us a temporary relief from the ban on interstate transport. However, part of the agreement was that it would exclude Texas and Florida from this injunction due to the higher risk in these states (Thanks USGS HSUS PETA and everyone else out to get me). Nevertheless, city's have laws and ordinances as well. And some states have their own laws regarding retics. Best to study ALL possible places you wish to go to school or live. If you plan to stay in your current town, read the city ordinances and find out what they allow and don't allow. People fail to realize that the government can say yes, a state can say yes, a county can say yes, your mom can say yes, but then it happens - the City itself, says no. Ordinances are extremely out dated in most cities, but they are still law. Learn them.
