Perhaps a permit. One that requires inspection of the animals accomodations and a significant yearly fee. Some of that money should be used to fund non-profit reptile rescues.
Not possible to organize and fund and the extra expenses for the owner would have much the same effect as an outright ban.

The most practical way to deal with it, in my opinion, is to promote responsible ownership. This is something that should be done anyway within the community. It won't actually solve any problems, but it would make the situation slightly more tolerable.
