thats crazy, i dont see why people cant continue to work with the animals we got, its not like we dont have enough species of reptiles and amphibians in the U.S. for one man to spend his whole life working with and studying, the more people push the gov. the more the gov. is gonna push back, they are already threatining to shut down the ball python trade in FL. because of a few dumb people letting RETICULATED pythons free, not balls, soon we are gonna be stuck raising anoles and black racers

Karma is a...well, you know what it is. That's crazy...2,400 animals.

The 2400 animals is in the group of illegal harvestors/owners/salespeople.

That's fantastic... I hope they all get what they deserve... Did you guys ever see or hear of illegal animals at Hamburg?

Do the turtles you see on KS for sale in huge lots come from wild collected eggs? Ugh... I feel sick... Some people have no compassion...

Mike, I have seen questionable animals all over the net and at a few shows. I have worked closely with nature conservancy to protect a few properties from being developed by finding wood turtles, spotted turtles and even a few bog turtles. Those properties do not have spotted turtles or wood turtles anymore and the bog turtles may have been relocated?

I am all for owning the most extreme animals one can get, BUT LEGALLY!!

I am a nuture lover and have been lucky enough to enjoy seeing some awesome rare animals enjoying their days IN THE WILD and hope to do that for alot longer.
