    Noone stop. Everyone should make calls and REQUEST that those people call them back. So they can Spread FACTS.

    Speak Passionately, not angrily, tell them the facts, tell them that there are different species different animals of different sizes. There are many locales of animals that vary in size from Burmese pythons.

    you have to get the info out there. KEEP calling

    Simply gorgeous! You should send them these pics, and say "here are the facts. This is what resposible owners are like." We could show them the passionate side of the trade.

    better get use to it. Even if it does not pass they are probably going to be introducing bills similar to this every year now

    I wouldn't expect any different. I think we are going to be ok for a few months now. Another mass shooting just happened in Orlando. I imagine reptiles will be put on the shelf for a while and now guns will be tossed on the chopping block. I guess I better go check the gun forums to see if ther is any updates. Dang, how did I end up with two of the most controversial hobbies?

    One thing I heard mentioned just briefly that really worries me is that they might consider banning other species because they look similar as babies and would make it hard to distinguish between species as they were inspecting shipments. Did anyone else catch that???

    Now any idiot with 10 minutes of training should be able to distinguish between a baby ball python and a baby burmese, but what is the likelyhood that they would use this as an excuse to ban further species? Pretty good I would think.
