These wankers need to be handed the same sentences as drug smugglers for there to be any kind of impact on the smuggling of endagered animals :(

Wether or not Salmonella is even an issue, very few people are sensitive to it and most of the time the symptoms are so mild as to go almost undetected. Not really a cause for concern. I would strongly suggest a mandatory inclusion of a care booklet to accompany the sale of any reptile to the public. And a better system to assure the appropriate housing of such animals in the pre sale environment.

They are some of the only pets for those severely allergic to furry creatures. Banning reptiles would put scores of businesses in bankruptcy.

Education should come first. There are too many people that buy animals without first looking into their needs and diseases that they may pass on to humans. Dogs and cats can pass on many germs as well but I see no one pushing to ban them.

Many more reptiles are imported than need be, especially given the poor inspection and questionable backgrounds of these animals. Perhaps some "reptile shelters" could be put in place where people have an option to bring their unwanted reptiles so they do not feel the need to release them into the wild, damaging the native flora and fauna.

Maybe America should become more realistic and less superstitious and try to gain full and true un-biased knowledge before trying to take away our rights. As with ANY animal, knowledge and proper handling and care should always be met both by the owners and our governments. Lets Educate not Eradicate. Land of the Free!

And they are just as loved and cared for by their owners as any other animal. We need to be more concerened with pit bulls and the like. Some regulations are needed to control the keeping of dangerous animals of all kinds. But most snakes and reptile pets are not dangerous to anyone. And the HSUS needs to accept this as well. People must look beyond their fear with an open mind.

Also while reptiles do need some special care they make great classroom pets to educate children and are much lower maintenance than dogs or other mammals. this release by the Humane society is just another excuse to promote an agenda of unsound preservationism that has repeatedly failed

Anyone who chooses to care for a animal, including repitles, should be well educated for that animal for the safty of the pet and the pet owner. Just because it may be a reptile versus a dog or cat does not mean that it can not make a safe and clean addition to a responsible owner. I hope that anyone who decides to care for any animal would first know how to care and always practice good hygiene.

However, there are also a fair number of us that do; our reptiles positively thrive in our care. I am all for making it illegal to take reptiles out of the wild - that is why I only buy captive bred.
As far as the Salmonella claim - anything that lays eggs is capable of carrying it. That's why they tell you not to eat raw eggs. Just take sanitary precautions!
