As many of you know by now The Reptile Guy, Mike Hopcraft has been in the news recently for his rescue work in relocating an American Alligator. Well the plot thickens. Apparently Mike was paid a visit by Conservation officers and is now under investigation for illegal transport and possession of an American Alligator but wait, He was told he could perform the rescue so whats going on. I had the privilege to speak to Mike via phone and he states that they believe its a big misunderstanding between the Ministry of Environment and the Conservation Officers. Unfortunately government officials are out for holiday break so we will have to wait and see what the next move is when they come back but as for now the investigation stands. Mike has said he will keep us up to date on what happens when the feds return to office after the holidays.
