This is paranoid extremist talk. These laws were not thought of solely as a way for some evil villain to stick it to his serfs. Your geckos, bearded dragons, and most of your snakes are safe. Requiring someone to jump through a few hoops to keep a 20 foot snake or an alligator is not particularly unreasonable. Someone didn't just sit down one day and say: "Hmm... what can I take away from people for no reason." When people start releasing their geckos and bearded dragons and they start eating alligators in Florida, then you might have to worry about them too. What do you think is going to happen? They made a permit required to keep a few species of giant constrictors, only after they are OVER 12 FEET, and now they are going to say: "OK we got the giant snakes now let's take away geckos because taking away pets from people for no reason is fun."
