Can anybody help me understand the regulations for California and Ball Python/reptile shipments? I have read that it is not legal to own, import, ship to, etc california, but cannot get good confirmation on this, and know that ball pythons are owned there by quite a few. What I found suggests that allthough it is illegal, it is just unregulated, so may as well be legal.... so, ummm, is this all true?

Information/clarification would be much appreciated!
Thanks
