Become a member today and help them stop the Lacey act amendments !!! SAVE OUR PETS
USARK - United States Association of Reptile Keepers

05/02/2022

VERY IMPORTANT PSA! 📣

This is BAD news to the arachnid hobby and all other exotic animal industries. We strongly encourage all of our followers to call and write your state senators in protest to the Lacey Act amendments on the America COMPLETES Act 2022, that just passed the House TODAY by a slim margin. The over 600 proposed amendments will effectively ban ALL interstate movement (not just sales) and ANY importation of any nonnative wildlife that is not on the Lacey Act’s proposed “whitelist”.

This issue is not just about reptiles, or birds, or fish, or amphibians, or mammals - it is about ALL of them. If you own any animal other than a dog, cat, or traditional farm animal, your species could be treated as injurious. If you have an animal interest business, this will likely affect you.

USARK has a summary of the changes included in the Act, and has written a very professional script for calls & emails that you can copy and modify as you see fit. PLEASE contact your senators about this ASAP!

More info on the America COMPLETES Act and the Lacey Act amendments here:

Find and contact your state senators here:

Hi everyone! Due to an unfortunate incident earlier today I will not use UPS to ship any boxes. Only USPS or FedEx will be used. Im currently looking to upgrade my shipping methods to avoid any potential incidents.

Fragile, live animal, live insect stickers will not be placed on boxes unless it is requested. This is because people will intentionally look for marked boxes and damage them. If this is a risk that your willing to make please let me know.

We will also stop shipping come November 1st. Be sure to place your orders now!
