Florida bans breeding and sales of 16 'high-risk' snakes and lizards

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Thursday voted unanimously for a set of rules that would ban owning or breeding six types of pythons, the green anaconda and nine other "high-risk" reptiles. The upshot of the ruling means that your pet tegu can live out the rest of its lizard days in Florida, but don't expect to buy a new one after that. Same goes for the  other "high-risk" reptiles that biologists see as ecological terrorists, but enthusiasts love as scaly family members.

But serpent lovers and critics of the proposal say the move is nothing less than a state-orchestrated snake-pocalypse targeting their pets and businesses. They argue the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission lacks science to justify the ban, is biased against their trade, and has much bigger exotic fish and invasive species to fry than snakes kept by hobbyists.
