Herp Nation Radio Special Report – Ball Pythons Banned in Texas

[iknowthetruth]

wow. lets just ban dogs too.

they already have to certain breeds, pitbulls and any dog looking like one are a big one , but also shiba inus, german shepards, chow chows etc etc. My state just recently said a dog can not be listed as vicious by state law and other towns have to pass their own law banning them, so now pitbulls are no longer illegal in most parts of the state, but one town i forget which says that all dogs under 20 lbs are banned in their town, not an apartment complex, the entire town

i want to move to Australia. people like snakes there and protect them.

I sure hope your comment was tongue in cheek.

Gain rights for snakes and lose your own. No Bill of Rights over there.

This really sucks, I mean why ban ball pythons? That's like the whole ban on yellow anacondas but not green, and greens get larger! It's because of something to do with they can survive colder temps or something. I don't know but it's stupid.

Honestly, because it's a law that doesn't harm anybody I personally would just merely consider it a suggestion.

This thread was started back at the beginning of the year, is there any current info on whats haapening with this situation?

I'm not certain, but I did some looking around online and I think this ban was for a county and it got overturned (I'll try to find which forum I saw it on, but there was a post by a guy in the TX county where they got it overturned)..

Here's the forum post...The TX guy's post is the second one.
