Hello-
Can anyone tell me the laws concerning the keeping of reptiles, including hots, in Washington state? The link to Reptile Laws State-by-State doesn't seem to be functioning. Thanks very much, Fred Boyce: fred@nexet.net

Fred,
Sorry about the other site/link not working. Here is another and it is working as I have already checked in advance.

I am sort of shocked Florida has not done the same thing. With all the non-native snakes, lizards, fish and wild life released every year around the state.
So what does Washington do now? Was anyone grandfathered in?

Well now, that IS depressing... I wonder if this will affect the Washington Serpentarium in Monroe? And what do these idiotic API people expect to happen to all the many thousands, if not millions, of captive-born exotic reptiles already in this country if they can't be properly housed and cared for? We're probably going to see a lot more cases of irresponsible people releasing their pets in very unsuitable places, or else otherwise law-abiding, responsible herp keepers being criminalized. This is in-sane. Wouldn't a gaboon viper born here be a native species? Are second-generation Italians or Irish people not Americans? We need to fight these people, hard!

We are fighting it in NC and SC. We have built strong organizations and have been very successful. if you want to fight this you should use NCARK as a model on how to successfully oppose API.
