Well, the herp community has been speaking out. Unfortunately, reptiles in FL have a very nasty reputation. This python bill has no monetary output requirement and is in real danger of being passed. Scary thought.
I feel like I live in fear in my own neighborhood and I'm so scared that someone will see what I keep in here, even though I have all legit permits and occupational licenses, liability insurance, etc. I was interviewed for a newspaper article and I'm almost dreading the publication. I enjoy what I do, but the underlying stress is very real. Strange, huh?

I thought it was interesting that the newspaper stopped the poll. Was it full, did it time out? Hmmm...
Oh well. We don't call it The Orlando Slantinel for nuthin'. :lol:
