I hope its not true . . . . Daytona wouldn't be the same without them. But, unless lots of other big breeders drop out, it will still be a great show and party!

p.s. Florida isn't retarded, just some of the rules we have to live by are. Reaction from the non-reptiles lovers to retics and burms in the Everglades, iguanas multiplying in the "wild" all over the southern part of the state, monitors running free . . .

I know here in central Florida we saw mass hysteria after an adult monitor lizard was sighted multiple times in a neighborhood. Made the front page of our paper several times until one was caught. Many people have an unnatural fear of reptiles and they therefore "react" without the facts. So many made calls to our elected officials telling them to do something about this problem . . . they heard and acted in response to the majority. Do I think the resulting rules were warranted? No, but I understand it.
