Last chance: Kill wv sb477

does this bill just ban snakes non-native to wv or all big snakes, i just sent it in without reading it

As it was, the bill would ban all wildlife not native to WV. Big, little, scaly, furry, you name it...

well, guess I'd better sale my bp and my corn snake because if i cant have my bp, i dont want a snake at all :/

Read my update the post before yours... even if/when this does go into effect, it won't be lawfully enforceable for another 14-16 months after a public comment period and who knows how many changes. It's not a lost cause yet. Don't sell your animals.

sorry if its personal but wht city r u in?

Berkeley Springs for the time being.... my wife and I have saved up enough money from breeding snakes to put a downpayment on a house, and I've mentioned to all of the delegates I've talked to that we're willing to go a few miles up the road to Maryland or PA and buy a house there when our lease is up this summer rather than give up our animals.
