Reptile Law Support Center

Welcome to kingsnake.com's Reptile Law Support Center. This center is staffed by employees and volunteers of kingsnake.com and is designed to help pet owners, businesses, clubs, rescues, and other people interested in laws that impact reptiles as pets or in the wild, stay abreast of current legal efforts. Not all reptile laws are bad. Not all reptile laws are good. We want to give you the information to decide for yourself, and the tools to take positive action and help to determine the fate of these regulatory efforts.

Please Note: We are not attorneys, and we are not offering legal advice. Our role is simply to facilitate the flow of information and create a web of communication between pet owners, businesses and organizations, make sure they are informed of pending regulations and the methods of response, and make sure that they have a voice in decisions that impact reptiles and amphibians.
