Patreon Qs: This Could Destroy The Reptile Hobby - Live Q&A

Hey, I listen to the podcasts, too! Just three months after they've been posted...

I tried to review the America Competes Act to understand the effect it may have on the reptile hobby, but it's difficult to understand if you're not familiar with legal language and reading Bill's or acts. How would you simplify this so the average person understands the issues? I wouldn't know where to begin if I wrote my legislators. Thank you.

OK Team, I think we need to cut it there - it is almost gametime!

How do we get ahead of these proposed legislations? USARK is working hard for us again and again, but the anti pet groups keep finding new approaches. The real agenda for these groups is hidden behind tons of PR; most people have no idea of what they are actually trying to do. How do we raise awareness to what they are really about?

With the recent news about the Lacey Act amendments being added to the America Competes Act, I have tried to help others remember than neither panic nor apathy are productive responses. I believe that research, contacting one’s senators, contributing to USARK, and spreading the word are some of the best things we can do. What else do you suggest?

Will Big Daddy get to be too big for the reptile room? I understand that male sulcatas can be pretty determined and destructive to human habitations. If that happens, would you consider trading turtles with someone like Kenan, who could give him a great life, and you could have a more manageable size tortoise for the reptile room?

Lacey Act? I know you get a ton of messages but I am a bit worried and wondering if you are going to address the Lacey Act? I wrote my state reps but I am career military and would prefer not to be a felon...

Hey Clint, I know phylogenetics is a favourite study of yours so I was wondering what are your favourite examples of phylogenetic classification proving one thing to be another? For me it’s ants and bees being wasps and snow leopards actually being snow tigers. I’m wondering if there are any examples that aren’t so well known or aren’t often thought of. Love one of your biggest Aussie fans ❤️ PS how are you going with learning the pronunciation of emu 😉😂❤️

Since adopting our 2 ball pythons my wife and I found your channel and have fallen in love with your content and how wholesome, entertaining and informative it is! So first thank you! How do find your balance with so many rad reptiles relying on you and the care you have to supply? Do you have a team or bunch of people to help. I'm new Patreon member so sorry if you have answered this before

I am a renter, and I know about 36% of Americans are. There are already so many places with clauses in their lease blanket-banning reptiles (even I've had to get special permission in my apartment complex). I've been hoping to be an advocate to help this fact change in my area and hopefully beyond. How would you recommend going about doing that?

What’s going to be the laws with United States native species?

Do we have an idea of what things will be white-listed? I wanted to breed African Bush Snakes but I think obscure species that are wild caught only will really suffer in their breeding efforts.

How do you think the Lacey act will affect zoo conservation programs if exotics can't go over state lines?

I hope this is regarding the Lacey Act
