Saw a message on my answering machine, as if this day wasn't bad enough.

From the City Health Dept. The exception for Tank has been cancelled/put on hold as I am in violation of Iowa State code. I now need to apply for a "Educational Permit" through the State, for that I need to find an organization to sponsor Tank.
This day just keeps getting better and better.

Very sorry to hear that! What kind of organization does it need to be?

[guidofatherof5]

State approved.

What a really ****** day Steve. Will the City officials help to find an appropriate organisation?

No. I've made contact with a couple organizations that would be approved by the State.
Waiting for call backs.

Just a quick update to the Tank saga.

It appears the local DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) person may have been wrong with his information. I contacted an official at the State office and was informed that with a valid Iowa fishing license I could keep 100lbs of live snapping turtles. I asked him if he knew of any State law that would be violated by keeping the turtle. He said that a valid fishing license was all I need as far as he knew.
I do have a valid license so I emailed the health dept. director this information along with a contact number of the State official I spoke to. That official said he would be more then happy to help me out.
Hopefully this latest bump in the road will be simply that, a bump.
I will probably have to keep the city supplied with a valid home owner's insurance statement and valid fishing license information but that is worth the trouble.
I'll keep you all informed as the drama plays out.

Hopefully the first guy was just misinformed. Hoping for the best!
