Hey all,

I am currently writing an evaluaton essay for my Eng. Comp II class about the USF&W ban on importation and interstate transport of Pythons, Boas, and Eunectes, and I need your help.

One of the topics in my essay is how the USF&W are looking into the income of both small and large scale breeders, and how this effects the both the US and world economy ('snake farmers'). I would really appreciate it if some of you breeders on the forums would mind giving me an insight on your annual income from breeding these animals, and if you have to charge sales tax or not (I guess it depends on individual states, I'm not sure about these things.)

I also need someone to point me in the direction of where i can find out how much snake importers make annually, to support the 'world economic' value of this industry.
If you do not wish to respond to this thread and would rather send information in e-mail, please reply to kasi.womack@okstate.edu.

Thank you so much for your help!

Sincerely yours,
Kasi
