List of possible banned snakes
Im watching the live podcast now. He just said all of the 9 snakes that are possibly dangerous.
He said boa constrictor, does that include red tail boas?
Honestly other than those, while I don't want it to be passed, it would not be the end of the world to me
Re: List of possible banned snakes
yea it does. They even listed all 4 species of anacondas. 2 of which I dont believe are even in our country. I know there not in the pet trade.
Re: List of possible banned snakes
The only ground they have is the size of the burmese. They can't even come with any examples of the other species listed. That's what makes me mad. They are going to use the burmese and it's size as the model, and then just squeeze the others through onto the ban. UGH!

Maybe not for YOU, but we're fighting this for ALL herpers. And if they ban one, they'll continue to add more. Might not be this bill, but it will certainly be one later.
While I only keep ball pythons and a few colubrids, any banning would be a loss.

Thats why I dont understand usark stance on this
Re: List of possible banned snakes
So the listed species won't be able to be sold and transported out of the states they are presently in? Would folks be allowed permits to move snakes to other states?

i dont understand it ether, thats like if i had said your aloud to have only two fingures and then the doc says hay ill help,,, and he comes up with ok you can keep all you fingures but your pinky come on,, why not stand up for all the snakes being ban,,but i think its because also they think that the burm and the rock are one of the most common snake in the us that it dont matter, which is bull
Re: List of possible banned snakes
well if you watched the video this morning they clearly said boas and balls are were the money is in the industry. So basically those species come first. BUt there are still people that invest alot into burms. The butterscotch burm is fetching 10 grand and the hypos are 1500-3000. And for them to agree on rocks and burms just opens the doors for retics and anacondas.
