Proposed Rolla ordinance would jail Noah.

While the proposal presented at the City Council meeting Monday sought to
ban both poisonous and non-poisonous reptiles, spiders and insects, Kearse said
there is reconsideration being given to turtles and some snakes.

“We’re not looking at keeping a child from having a pet turtle or a
garter snake,” Kearse said. “That’s not the intent.”

Apparently the intent is to keep adults, however, from having a pet tarantula or iguana.
