Oh my goodness, that is rent for us. We definitely could not afford that! CO is sounding more and more attractive after hearing about it not always getting snow in the southeastern area.
Chubby: $5, seriously? Politics aside...or because of...it is sounding like CA is waaay too expensive for us.
3G: Thanks! All this input is so very helpful in planning where we should visit before moving.
Mom'sFolly: Ergh, I was afraid that water rights would be the big issue, and the 'right of capture' law sounds just...ergh. Really too bad, as they seem like a hub for exotics, have land, and seem to not nose too much into other people's business.
Crazy: TN is just crazy pretty. You aren't kidding about the trash being picked up. Dollywood reminded me of European theme parks, in that they kept it clean!
Conny: Some of my long time want-to-owns are opposum (captive bred, not wild caught), ringtail Cat/cacomistle, my husband is the one who wants a sloth, we are rodent people so we both want a capybara, patagonian cavy (it cracks me up how much they look like my blue heeler!), Argentine or Columbian black and white tegu (don't think you need a permit for those though), one of the large Indian squirrel species if possible, a hyrax, grasshopper mice, and the list goes on, but those have been our top picks. One of my artist friend's recently became the first American to *successfully* import a domestic Russian fox. The importer for the first few foxes ended up being not...legal, and they ended up in a Texas sanctuary. If she reports good things on temperament and future imports, I'll be considering them. And YAKS! I love royals, but would really like a cow/yak hybrid pair for packing. We have names picked out. Soba and Ety, short for Yakkesoba and Yakety Yak. X) I think all our major bird desires do not require permits. Most of them are pigeon breeds, haha.
