sweetiepie9":3dx4y695 said:From the article it's the dealers that have to pay $200, $25 is for owners, but my question is it for multiples or for a single reptile. I've been hearing about this, didn't realize it was going to happen. Does this mean if you have reptiles already, you still have to pay for the license? There's nothing like that in Canada yet for reptiles, but there is something going on about snakes. Good luck
$25 for a possession permit. It is not clear whether a possession permit would cover multiple animals.
The commission would not be able to grant any permits until it “is satisfied that the provisions for housing and caring for the nonindigenous or exotic reptile or amphibian and for protecting the public are proper and adequate and in accordance with the standards established by the commission.”
