    List of possible banned snakes

    Im watching the live podcast now. He just said all of the 9 snakes that are possibly dangerous.
    He said boa constrictor, does that include red tail boas?
    Honestly other than those, while I don't want it to be passed, it would not be the end of the world to me

    yea it does. They even listed all 4 species of anacondas. 2 of which I dont believe are even in our country. I know there not in the pet trade.

    Re: List of possible banned snakes

    The only ground they have is the size of the burmese. They can't even come with any examples of the other species listed. That's what makes me mad. They are going to use the burmese and it's size as the model, and then just squeeze the others through onto the ban. UGH!

    Maybe not for YOU, but we're fighting this for ALL herpers. And if they ban one, they'll continue to add more. Might not be this bill, but it will certainly be one later.

    While I only keep ball pythons and a few colubrids, any banning would be a loss.

    So the listed species won't be able to be sold and transported out of the states they are presently in? Would folks be allowed permits to move snakes to other states?

    Re: List of possible banned snakes

    well if you watched the video this morning they clearly said boas and balls are were the money is in the industry. So basically those species come first. BUt there are still people that invest alot into burms. The butterscotch burm is fetching 10 grand and the hypos are 1500-3000. And for them to agree on rocks and burms just opens the doors for retics and anacondas.
