Re: Calling all Reptile Keepers of the Southeast
Helen, so far my searches for Tennessee herp societies have resulted in one big goose egg. Just asked a longterm keeper in the state and he said he's never heard of any, and was considering starting one himself. I'll be sure to let you know what develops.
Part of me wonders if the lack of TN herp clubs may be because of the somewhat strict laws for herps. TN is not one of the most reptile-keeper friendly states. For starters, you can't own tortoises or turtles. If I'm not mistaken, venomous aren't allowed to be kept, and I think you have to have some sort of permit if you are breeding anything. [shrugs]
