Ouch, so much for owning any huntsman spiders or scorps if this law passes
Thankfully I live in Ohio
Anyway you can petition this law?

I live in ohio as well but these things can spread. What the heck is so dangerous about a huntsman? Money doesn't grow on trees but apparently idiots do. Reminds me of the local laws in medina about constrictors. Cant own any constrictors in medina including corn snakes. Even though there are constrictora that live outside

Ohio has its fair share of morons. Thankfully the new governer is taking over soon. Hopefully he is better

I don't think so. The only thing I can find that states any animals Illinois banned is primates, big cats, wolves, etc. They also have something called the Herpitile law, which is actually not that bad.
