Albuquerque is proposing a new city animal ordinance. You can read it here,  
all 60 some-odd pages of  it:
http://daystar2.cabq.gov:81/attachments/3174.doc

This  ordinance looks invasive all around, not just for reptiles. If
you keep any  animal in your household, and you don't want your city or 
county to adopt a  similar ordinance, please write to the
Albuqureque city council and let them  know your thoughts on this
ordinance.

The proposed ordinance calls  anything not a dog, cat, or rabbit
an "exotic" and requires a $35 ANNUAL  permit for anything not a dog, cat, or 
rabbit.  There are also some pretty  silly
requirements, such as submitting a letter to the mayor every time one  wants 
to transport an "exotic". So the mayor needs to know when my iguana goes  for 
her annual check-up?

The AR is looking at this ordinance as a  template for more cities. If
it gets passed here, it will get passed  elsewhere.

I spoke with Martin Heinrich's aide today, and Mr. Heinrich  is
interested in hearing from the public.

Sally Mayer is the sponsor. You can contact them and other  council
