Re: New Lacey Act Amendments
There's a saying: Hope for the best. Plan for the worst. If you have your heart set on a burm, retic or tegu, get it now.

But only if you're actually READY to take it on- financially & physically & in terms of your living situation- all animals deserve good homes, & they deserve to NOT be an "impulse-buy". "Just because you can...doesn't mean you should."

I'm avoiding this temptation. I want a boa and will be really sad if I suddenly can't get one...but I'm not ready for one yet. I wrote my senators and donated to USARK. Not sure there's much else I can do.

I hope & sincerely believe they'll be surprised at the amount of push-back they get. So many of us keeping reptiles ("exotic" pets) are low-key about it, & when law-makers don't hear about something, it doesn't exist for them until it's in their face.

Same here. This effects so many different types of pet keepers and I'm glad I'm seeing different hobbyist groups bringing it up.
