bait thread don't reply

In LA some shop call exotic pets inc

They are illegal in CA.

Are ppl not supposed to have these? I live in bumfuck arkansas and they have some at my local petshop.

why are these babies illegal to own

because 99% of people that would want to buy them would likely kill them in 2 days or less.

>>2454938
oh so its more of a conservation effort? i'm a dummy and thought maybe they were poisonous or something but now im googling some more. very sad situation.

Everything is illegal in CA

I'm surprised corn snakes are allowed.

You probably have mudpuppies for sale. Very similar, but they are Tiger Salamander larvae.

>>2454934
They are crossfire in a nationwide regulation regarding transportation and sale of amphibians, particularly salamanders.

>>2454941
No. It's probably a fear that they'll become invasive if people release them.

Fucking gerbils, hedgehogs, ferrets are illegal in CA.

>gerbils
I've literally seen them for sale in pet stores here dude

>>2454938
Probably true, but there are people who would definitely take the time to keep them healthy and alive. I knew a girl my senior year that bought one, loved it, bought another, and now breeds them and makes some good money doing it. She has tons of plants, tests the water constantly, and would be so sad if any died.

Anecdotal, but relevant

>>2454951
are those bans actually enforced?

>>2454990
Yes, but people just drive to Arizona or Oregon and plead mea culpa if they get caught.

>>2454951
This is true. Not sure about CA but in NJ they are also genetically compatible with another species, so there is a fear of crossbreeding.

>>2454983
wat you mean gerbils are LEGAL?

What has this world come to?
