ha ha I love it down hear so far, well I dont like the idea that I cant bring my rays but other than that its not so bad. At first I thought it would be a good idea if the state were to have a permit that you had to pay yearly for or something but as i thought about it I jsut figured shops would disregard the permit like they do with many reptiles and it would be pointless. I just have a hard time understanding how it is that rays are on the list and not other fish or animals. When i talked to florida fish and wildlife, i asked why they were restriced and i was simply told that they are not currently in the water ways and they want to keep it that way. I understand that but that could be said for most anything from fish to lizards to dogs. I would think that rays would not be such a large concern being that they have small liter sizes and such. I feel like they were restricted more on the premise that they are a "stingray," than a legit threat... but then again that is just speculation.
