Because I want to get everyone important news as soon as I can I wanted to toss this little extra in here today and let everyone know that Dodge City, Kansas is banning some reptiles. I read over the list which is Alligators, Crocodiles, Komodo Dragons Anaconda’s Caiman’s and Monitor Lizards. City Clerk Nannette Pogue said the reason for revisiting the list was because of a recent court case involving someone who was keeping an Alligator. While some reptiles are allowed to be kept they said no constrictors larger than 6 feet in length were legal. It is also currently not legal to keep any Venomous animals. For the most part the list almost seems on par for everything going on today but what caught my interest was when they listed Monitors as I know several people that keep smaller Monitors and those of course will fall under this new law because is says “Monitor Lizard’s” and dose not spell out and specific Monitors.
