yeah, I've had various plated lizards since 2001, and since no one uses it as a user name it makes me pretty identifable. This guy is the last one and they don't export that species from Madagascar anymore.
FIV is called feline AIDs, though I don't know if the viruses are related. It compromises their immusystems although not as badly, most FIV positive cats can live almost-normal life spans if they're kept indoors. It's passed through fighting, so unaltered toms are particularly prone to getting it. Feline Lukemia (sp?) is a virus that causes lukemia in them and is also passed through fights, so the tests and vaccines are done at the same time.
Tags are the cars' registration, since my car is newer it has to obey the Department of Eviromental Quality's standards for exhaust etc, and I have renew it every two years. I should have done it last November. They give you stickers that tell the month and year you need to renew to put on your license plates (in Oregon you are required to have two), and the cops can ticket you if they aren't up to date.
The cop also ticketed me for not having insurance, I though I'd renewed it but I guess I forgot. I've since renewed it. He DIDN'T ticket me for not having my license on me, I found it later underneath my driver's seat! So I was lucky. That was the day I my cat mauled my lizard and I was actually on my way to vet when I got pulled over.
