Hello Everyone,


Today I received a link to the Florida Wildlife Commission's survey about various wildlife topics. In the survey the Commission asks questions about sale of wildlife as well as structural facility construction. The topics are:


1. County Issue: Building Codes and Zoning


2. Critical Incident and Disaster Plan


3. Labeling of shipments containing live specimens of wild animal life.


4. Exhibit/Sale License Requirement for Hobbyists

The address to the survey is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=0Yw1DSJTolYzD_2bbnKTrHpg_3d_3d

For those that the link may not work for go to http://www.myfwc.com/ , under the quick links near the top of the page the link is entitled "Captive wildlife rule survey". Please take a few minutes and complete the survey, please pass this along to all reptile hobbyists.

Done, Many of these changes look like a good thing. I'm not so sure about all these building codes though!
