Canadian Snake Owners - What have you tried to do about laws?

I'm a Ball Python owner in Calgary, AB. I'm supposed to get a second snake from Corey Woods, but I have realised I don't know if I can because I may move back to Saskatchewan with my boyfriend, where Balls are still illegal!
What are my possibilities to talk to the government about changing snake laws or getting a permit that allows me to legally keep my snake? What have you done and what responses have you recieved when asking/trying to change reptile legislation?
Frankly I can understand why people are (and were) frightened of snakes, but a Ball Python released into the wild would be a threat to the environment for.. oh, around four months after which he'd probably freeze to death. I doubt an African snake can handle -40C!
So what have you done, and what has your Provincial government said to you in return?
I get the impression there are a few BP owners in Saksatchewan anyway, I was at a Petland and mentioned I was getting a BP and she was like "shhhh.... me too!" So what can we do to get these great snakes legal in my favourite province, so I can move back home? :D

no idea at all... but i think the concern wouldn't be them dieing in the cold but moving into someone's house to stay warm LOL

after all... saskatchewans winter games does include backgammon! hahahahahaha that cracks me up :8:

Really? I was in the winter games and didn't hear anything about backgammon, but in Saskatchewan you never know, this is how they roll.

what were in the games for? beer drinking or grasshopper catching?

hahahahahahahahahahaha




(no offense meant)

Speedskating actually! And I was the mascot. Never volunteer to be in the mascot costume.

Now mousch, surely you have a picture of this momentous occasion to share with us?! :wuv:

Haha, it's possible...
