If there are any active West Virginia residents on here, would you be willing to update me on the new exotic animal laws? I'm a WV native (still have residency there though I don't live in the state), and I read today that the most recent exotic animal bill passed. I guess the Division of Natural Resources gets to make the list of banned animals, and the information I have seen includes all of Order Caudata.
Since I don't live in WV, it would be nice if someone could provide better information on how much of this is true. I've read that people with these pets will be grandfathered in with a $100 annual license, and you will not be able to breed your animals or buy more. The list is only in discussion right now, so isn't set in stone.
Here's the list I found: http://www.usark.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/West-Virginia-DWA-Proposed-List-6.11.14.pdf
