Restrictions, even when well thought out, are usually impossible to enforce. In the end the methods used to control become completely arbitrary and that defeats the purpose of having any kind of restriction. In my not-so-humble opinion. For example, how do you define such a thing as "reasonable precautions"? The authorities lack the expertise to make that kind of decision and reptile hobbyists are the ones that are supposed to be controlled. Who makes that decision?

The mere fact that animals reproduce makes them impossible to control or limit. Needless to say, I'm against restrictions in most matters, I think they punish honesty and reward dishonesty.
