A very common question among keepers... answered. Captive Testudo hermanni boettgeri (Eastern Hermann's tortoise) with a typically overgrown beak.

Tokay geckos (Gekko gecko) are nocturnal arboreal geckos native to parts of Asia and some Pacific islands. Its natural habitat would be trees and cliffs in rainforest, but it is known to frequently inhabit both rural and urban areas of human habitation, eating insects attracted to the electrical lights. Tokays are often very visually appealing, but infamously feisty, and not for the faint of heart. Despite this (or in fact for some, because of this), tokay geckos have been moderately popular as pets for decades.

Estimates place this species as the third largest known gecko, with adults averaging 10 to 12 inches in length. These geckos are also known to be significantly vocal, with their common name being derived from an onomatopoeia of their call (their calls sound similar to “toh-kay”). In some parts of their native range, the species is threatened with extinction. Luckily, this species breeds readily under human care to support the growing interest in keeping them as pets.

ALERT: Oregon Animal Program Ban
Read more and take action at https://usark.org/23or/

UPDATE 2/24/23: This bill should be reassigned to the Judiciary Committee on Feb. 28 during a "work session."

Oregon House Bill 3214 (HB3214) prohibits using certain animals (list below and even includes tortoises and small monitors) in “traveling animal acts,” which will include the educational outreach programs provided by many animal keepers.

he unintended consequences are many. It is a ban on taking a Greek tortoise into a classroom for an educational program about turtles and tortoises. It is a ban on taking a dwarf monitor lizard into a library or to a Scout troop meeting for an educational show discussing reptiles.

“Traveling animal act” means a performance of an animal to which the animal is transported. This qualifies all outreach and educational programs that are not on-site where the animal is permanently housed. They would all be banned.

While the definition for “performance” may seem to disqualify general educational outreach programs, there still remains ambiguity and enforcement could certainly take place at the whim of any enforcement officer as terms are open for interpretation at will. For example “trick” is not defined so an animal standing on its back legs to get a treat, walking to a red laser dot, or jumping from one person’s shoulder to another are tricks and these are commonly seen in educational and outreach programs. Also, a performance includes any program in which an animal “entertains or amuses an audience.” Most are entertained and amused simply by having the incredible experience of seeing animals in person!

Please note that “education programs” are only exempt if you qualify with an entity included in the above exemption list. We have seen misinformation on this being posted on social media.

The only exemptions are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), or Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), along with a 12-hour of travel exemption for state-licensed wildlife rehabilitation centers, certain academic/medical/research facilities, veterinarians, and falconers.
