It might have to come down to the breeders micro chipping each and every snake they sell and documenting who its sold to in order to track that person down if the animal is found outside or let loose in the wild. I know this isnt a foolproof way of keeping people from dumping their animals but its something to think about. Animal cops was on last night and they caught several tegus and a fairly big water monitor in a fairly small residential area in florida and were blaming it on an importer that lived just a few blocks away. These people are going to ruin the right to keeping reptiles for everyone with there stupidity. Imagine how many people saw that show that are scared of reptiles, what do you think they are going to say when they hear about the proposed ban, they'll be all for it.Responsible ownership and doing research on an animal before you buy it is the key.
