Regulations on Retics in Louisiana?

[Karighan]

I'm a New Orleans native; I was there thirty years, before moving last year to Washington. The state is not all great food and Mardi Gras.

It's one of the poorest states in the country, and with very few job opportunities. If your family relies on two incomes to survive, keep in mind that you are looking for work.
Also, it is painfully difficult to find rental properties that allow pets-- if you won't buy your home, please keep that in mind. Your four-legged companions will not be welcome in many complexes.

Also, there are only about five certified herp vets in the state, and if you don't live near a major city, it will be several hours of driving. Two in New Orleans, one in Shreveport, one in Madisonville, and one in Mandeville.

Alexandria has 'exotic' vets, but they're tailored more avians, than reptiles. I wouldn't take a snake or lizard to anyone in the city.
