Marți, 22 octombrie, Consiliul Departamentului pentru Resurse Naturale din Georgia a votat pentru a restricționa proprietatea viitoare a reptilelor exotice, ca răspuns la creșterea numărului de specii invazive care amenință ecosistemul nativ..

Interdicția a fost făcută special pentru a aborda problema a două specii invazive de reptile, Burmese pythons and Argentine Black and White tegu lizards, who are imported from South America and are often released or escape into the wild, where they feed on the eggs of local species of birds and reptiles, threatening 42% of the local wildlife. Burmese snakes can also carry parasitic lungworms and spread harmful diseases.

Other species affected by the ban are Nile monitor lizards, African helmeted turtles and Chinese softshell turtles. Current owners can keep their pets as long as they are registered with the authorities. The transferring, sale and transportation of these animal is also allowed during a 12-month transiction period, but no importation or breeding will be allowed starting from next month.
