When I was at University, we were the "depot" for the endangered, abused,
etc (Illegal to own, or removed because they were being mistreated) reptiles
and fish in the state. We had a huge room set up as a herpetarium/aquarium,
with everything ranging from itty bitty tree frogs to 12 foot alligators.
had a bunch of fish too - salt and freshwater, but I don't remember what all
was there... Its been a while....


I don't think the "general public" has much chance of getting onto the list
of recipients. I think that all they allow is zoos, research universities,
etc......
