    !!garters illegal in Ontario!!

    I just found out some pretty scary news from a local pet shop owner...It is now ILLEGAL to keep or collect any native snake species in Ontario!This of course includes Garters!!!A man was recently given the option of a $50 000 fine OR three years in jail!You may how ever obtain a permit from the Government which took the shop keeper a couple of years to get!So all you Ontario res. with garters...HIDE!!!

    My neighbor state, Georgia, has the same law. You can't buy, sell or keep any snake native to the state.

    How do they police these laws? They can't really go door to door looking for them!
