I think this is a huge problem. These politicians wouldn't know a family from a genus from a species if they got smacked in the head with an intro biology book. Do they truly mean genus python or do they mean anything called a python? Same goes for boas. Do they truly mean all species of boa constrictor or anything called a boa?
Not that one or the other is any better; banning any of them is asinine. But it would still be good to know exactly what they're trying to pass....
