Bad, bad news for Ohio herp owners!! READ THIS!!!

They were trying to ban them. I do believe with bans, that the only way you can get the permit is if you had previously owned the animal before it was put into effect. If this does happen anytime in the future, I'll be more than steamed. I don't want to see my Green/Granite project go down the toilet...

Does my male colombian BCI fall into the category of snakes in the family of boidae that have the potential of reaching 8 feet in length!!!??? Theres no way I can afford to pay insurance on him, seeing as I'm in highschool and have no income.

Yes it would fall under that category. The species is listed under Boa constrictor, pertaining to both sub-species...I don't believe they would make exceptions to the ban when relating to sub-species and just ban the species outwrite. And since even B.c.i.'s have the capability to reach in excess of 8' They would be listeed under the ban.

ohh wait, posted before I read. Theres no way I'm giving up my boa. Especially because some ignorant politician was scared by garter snake as a child.
