The problem Jason its that here people are totaly ignorant about herps. Portugal has no herp keeping history unlike say the states,Australia and the United Kingdom, and most people dont have good eyes and atitude thouards herps and the people that keeps them. They think they are dangerous ,poisonous,etc. This applies even to our native herpsjason longboard;1840905; said:why not,off topic but in short,like a rtb could live their if let free?
One of the dummest sutf is about our native gecko the crocodile gecko Taurentola mauritanica. I bet that if I did a street questionary 1 in 3 people would say that this completly harmeless animal is poisonous or has somme atributes like "burry itself under your skin"
And you can bet most people would kill any gecko they find in his house. However it is ilegal to have one as a pet as well as all the native species of herps That boid law was obviosly made by people that ignore the fact that many boids are small and medium size species that pose no harm to the public and are higly unlike to survive if realesed. Most people still think of them a being higly dangerous and ignore the fact that is much more to this family than just retics and burmeses. So insted of regulating the big species they made them ilegal all thogeter Also ilegal here are ferrets one of the most vicious creatures in the face of the earth
