Unfortunately, last-ditch efforts failed, and the bill passed.
Now, any of you in West Virginia will have 1 year to either convince the DNR that the species you keep should be listed as domesticated species. (Or, of course, consider moving or rehoming your animals out of State).

It all went through so quickly, I know many folks must not have had the chance to hear about it. On the other hand, some of them probably assumed that it would only affect large pythons and tigers. That’s not the case. Small reptiles, pocket pets, and birds will all be affected.
