Exotic animal seizure

[Treebeard]

I am wondering on what grounds they seized them. Last time I was in there everything looked happy. I am no expert but I have kept reptiles before I got into saltwater.

Without knowing the specifics search and seizures of animals can include

-illegally obtaining exotic animals without proper documentation
-selling prohibited or restricted species
-improper care and storage of exotic species
-selling of sick or diseased animals without treatment or documentation of treatments
-not licensed to sell exotic or reptilian species

Just a partial list of lesser known laws
