If Reptiles got banned..?

[rum&coke]

If they got banned I would not keep them, I love keeping my reptiles but if I could not take them to the vet if need be or buy the right equipment for them or food then I dont think it would be fair or in the animals best interest if I kept them.
Thank god its just a hypothetical question and they wont ever be banned

No i would not hand over my pets willy nilly but if reptiles were banned it would be hard if you were keeping a lizard that required live food because that would be complicated to source and might give you away.

Snakes could be fed on mice/rats that are bred for purpose without people knowing.

Say if reptiles got banned and you were no longer allowed to keep them or breed them. Im pretty sure many people would go underground.

Would you happily hand over your pets? Keep them and not tell anyone? Would you keep breeding and sell them private?

This is out of interest, keeping reptiles hasn't been banned and no one will get in trouble Just thought it might be an interesting discussion.

I'd pack them off to Jeffery West and have them make me a pair of boots. Or barbeque them I'm not sure. It won't ever happen anyways so I won't worry too much.

If my animals were going to be euthanised I'd be arranging to move somewhere where they aren't banned.

If my animals were going to be safe then I would have to turn them in - seeing as I'm not a vet and couldn't treat my animals if they became ill. I'm not going to condemn my pets to suffer just because I don't dare let anyone know I have them.






But it'd kill me to do it, and I'd probably be looking to move elsewhere anyway.

i totaly agree
