With the story about Snake keeper getting so grandly ripped off because of the locals, I think the entire community is going to find it harder in the future with keeping any exotics. Even if the majority of people go out and get those permits, the ones that don't are going to attract bad attention from the law makers.

On a side note, how many of you feed live? It's an ongoing cause by the self proclaimed "rat lady" that she wants to outlaw the feeding of live rats, and eventually stop the feeding of rats period. Another way we're under fire because we feed scary monsters cute fuzzy animals. :/
