SOCIAL CIRCLE – The clock is ticking for Georgia pet owners who have any of the six reptile species newly regulated by the state to get their pets tagged and registered.
Since December, Nile monitors, African helmeted turtles, Chinese softshell turtles, Argentine black and white tegus, and Indian rock and Burmese pythons have been listed as wild animals in Georgia. Except for Georgia pet owners who tag and register these animals kept as pets before Dec. 3, these species can be possessed only for scientific, educational or public exhibition purposes.
