i think this means i can have a pet rattlesnake. the kids will love it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalus_scutulatus

but you're not allowed to have a gnu

or not allowed to have bats what is up with that?

Did I see Homo Sapiens on that list? Sheesh!

Couldn't they have saved postage and paper and just sent you a list of what you could have .....

Or just a note saying "No".....

Looks like you`re ok for insects and spiders

I wouldn`t be able to find many of the critters on that list although i have a few #16.
