Who the hell is gonna know whether I got a ball python at home, unless there is a complaint. Oops, gearing up to rant again - sorry.

It's good that you're raising your concerns to them, Rhea. It shows that they need to make the regulations more accessible so that honest, law abiding citizens don't accidentally break the law because they're "unable" to determine what the law is.
On another note, I'd add that overly restrictive laws (and laws that can't be found) actually encourage people to "break" the law. For example, laws that require you to report, pay extra for keeping certain kinds of pets, and grant inspectors access into your home tend to encourage people not to report these species. I mean, who would want to allow a stranger to enter your home and tell you how you should live?
