So I looked at the actual campaign article on their site. This appears to be a South African site. As it is, I don't see a problem as they are trying to stop the illegal trade on indigenous reptiles (they only mention Tortoises and chameleons). However, I think the request would have been misleading as it would imply that BPs are illegal when they are not. A quick search shows there is open trade on Ball Pythons is SA although it seems permits are needed.
