Hi All,
I need to post this info for all to read about what is acceptable to bring to meetings. Due to the fact that accidents happen and they will. many of us have alot of different type of "pets" and even though we know how to handle or house different types of specimens,we need to keep the public safe. There is also the fact that we can be liable for those kind of mistakes. let's keep the dangerous "pets" at home.
The following is a general list of what is accepted and what is not. If it is not on the list , please ask a SFBATS officer for approval first before bringing them to a meeting.
ACCEPTABLE:
Tarantulas
Millipedes
Centipedes
Mantids
Cockroaches (properly housed in an escape proof container)
Beetles
Scorpions (NO *HOT* ONES)
snakes,with approval
geckos
anoles
amphibians
NOT ACCEPTABLE::
Venomous snakes
Venomous lizards
Ants
Rodents _________________ Focus on the prize.

Froggies shoud be fine. We just don't want anything super venemous that will most likely send someone to the hospital if they're bitten. Trying to keep our meetings only "mildly venemous". Hehe. _________________ http://www.racheledler.com
