total ban of genus python

If they know that there's breeders in Florida that ship snake out of state then your voice should matter.

That would bring in revenue to the state.

Hi,

Is it possible to find out who is shopping this around to the politicians?

This kind of flurry of similar proposals all nicely made up ready for signatures and sponsorship takes time and planning.

And it seems unlikely they have had the time to do so since the unfortunate accident with the child and the snake. :weirdface

We know there are people paid to promote intrests and legeslation as USARK made use of one - can we find out if there is someone similar responsible for all these bills or if they came from seperate sources?

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!
reminds me of "drinkingwithbob" from youtube. He should do something on the python ban.... :D

Alright, I've been away from this forum a while but still a proud owner of my balls! I have just finished up making my calls, I also sent faxs as well. I also have had about a couple dozen friends spread out the country to call and or fax in. Hopefully this bill will not pass. It really pisses me off that these unresponsible people took on a snake that they had no business with and then released them here in the everglades. Is there a problem? Yes! However not with us responsible ball python owners.

Keep calling and faxing a personal letter with your personal info to every number! Make sure you get every number! Keep going all day if you have to! I was told by one rep that they have recieved more calls on this than any other issue in the house right now! Here are all the numbers. Keep at it. If you get a busy line move to the next one!

Time is critical, so please take the time to contact the following Congresspeople and ask them -- POLITELY -- to send this bill back to be amended to use the scientific names of the specific animals they're seeking to restrict, and not include common housepets along with animals of concern.
