USARK wants YOU to join

Each month like clockwork, five dollars disappears. I never really miss it, I get an email telling me it is gone. I am a Bronze Sustaining member of USARK. In total, it is $60 per year to them, a little more than regular bronze and it is a little more than two tacos a month for me so I never notice. USARK is essential to our community.

I am a keeper and a rescue. I have had to call Phil twice this year for assistance on laws and he was there to help. While we are still working on the law that is impacting native species here in WI with Phil's assistance, I do hope very soon I will be able to say the other situation he assisted on is all clear. Phil and the entire USARK team are always there to help when legal issues arise for all of us who like to spend our lives with reptiles. This is more than just the big 5 snakes. We have move past that legally. Now states are creating laws that impact owning native species, some of which are and have been bred captively for decades. These animals are well established in captivity and are not being harvested from the wild. This is part of what USARK is handling.

So please take a moment, if you are not a member to become one. Talk to Phil or Vanessa at a show and learn more about what exactly they do. They are an integral part of our community for all keepers. Go to https://usark.org/memberships/ and sign up! And just to show I put my money where my mouth is, my receipt that inspired this post!
