Reply #25: I agree there are people who aren't qualified.

I've turned down puppy buyers, and I applaud a breeder of any species who screens their prospective buyers and has the integrity to refuse a sale where necessary. At the same time, I would not want to deny the people who are qualified.

The problem of released exotics is a thorny one, and I'm well aware of how much havoc an introduced species can wreck. Sadly it only takes a few irresponsible idiots to ruin it for the rest of us. There should be a middle ground, however, between "ban it all" and "no regulations whatsoever."
