USARK Action Alert: WV Reptile Ban

[bcr229]

I am curious, does West Virginia have an issue with large constrictors thriving in the wild or some kind of large effort into protecting these animals? Those registration fees are unreal, I'm guessing you can register a dog or cat much cheaper than that and we all know how much time and effort is needed to keep up with strays etc.

No boids can not survive our winters. Most would likely perish from the cold by Thanksgiving.

This law was initially passed as a knee-jerk response to the incident in Ohio (and Ohio did pass its own restrictions). Unfortunately in WV we get to deal with this every year as the DWA board is mandated to revisit the list annually.
