I let Steve the skink live in my garage. I like seeing him and when you first see him itโs like seeing a snake makes you flinch at first. But heโs harmless
Seems like you're at the mercy of whoever is there at the time. I think you were legal. Even that old thread written by the Beaver Dam Store was nebulous at best.... He didn't even know the regs and his business is there. Good luck!
