U.S. set to approve python ban

I have to question how accurate this article is, anyhow. "Set to approve" doesn't mean 'has approved".

This is exactly the time to push harder.

This is what happens when Government gets TOO big.

Pay attention folks, and fight it with all ya got.


Try to save the snakes too.

In short Yes. Thats why Gun Shows are packed because we are afraid of what is going to happen in Washington. So people are buying them while they can.



I agree with you on this one. This is one more reason Ron Paul is sounding better and better.

Best post I've seen in a while...but I am afraid that you may have opened a big can of worms...let the flaming BEGIN!

This is what happens when the people aren't educated, don't know how to think for themselves, and don't know how to resist propaganda. Solve those problems, and the size of the government would be irrelevant.

The real problem is the degeneration of the ability to think critically in the populace. It just keeps getting worse, and the corruption at the top is feeding it. It's a self-perpetuating cycle...the people get dumber, and government gets away with more...the loudest voice always wins, now.

This is irritating.

I have my heart set on getting the male BCI the breeder is holding for me until the weather is safe for shipping and I'm going to be beyond mad if I can't get him because of this.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get an RTB this week or next just to be safe. Then move to Canada. Lol

IF this is approved then it wouldn't take effect immediately they would set a date for it to take effect in the future.

It says " Reptile breeders, dealers, researchers and exhibitors also can continue operating under a separate permit program, as long as they agree to strict storage and transport rules."

And it says they will be banned from being imported, or sold across state lines.

So...looks like they will still be available, and it will keep the wild ones from being caught and imported.
I would think if someone has to pay a license fee, and a microchip (even though this isn't really true for dogs or cats) they *might* be more responsible with keeping their pets. But, it's really all the stupid irresponsible people who've brought it to this anyway.

TRANSPORTED across State lines.

If you move from California to Michigan, you cannot take them with you.
If I live in Omaha, I cannot sell them to someone who lives in Council Bluffs.
