While this sounds like a good thing, as releasing captive animals into the environment can cause problems, it isn’t. It will negatively effect all of the exotic community – reptiles, birds, fish, small animals, etc.

If this bill is passed, it will ban the import/purchase/sale/trade/breeding of numerous exotic animals.

There is no word on what species will be on this list, and they would not decide until after the bill is passed.

Help stop the bill from passing, contact a represenative today!

This show is a must go for anyone within a few hour range. It features a large variety of breeders, from snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles, and all sorts of reptiles. There is a large selection, so you will likely find what you are looking for (unless of course you are looking for some ultra rare item, or a Komodo Dragon).

I attended this show in 2007 and was very impressed. Overall it’s an excellent show, put together very well. There are many seminars to go to during the event, none of which I personally attended, but from what I heard they were excellent.

Please let us know if you will be attending! We hope to see you there. You can spot us in our black or white t-shirts from “The Reptile File”:

If you see us, don’t hesistate to come say hi!
