    Only 1 day left! Fight the Constrictor Ban!

    If you care about your rights to keep pets, please help fight against the proposed new constrictor rule and ban!

    There is only 1 day left to submit public comments to Fish and Wildlife Services!



    Boa constrictor, Reticulated python, DeSchauensee’s anaconda, Green anaconda and Beni anaconda are proposed to be added to the Lacey Act, which would ban interstate transportation/commerce and importation.

    They'll hit large constrictors first, but our ball pythons are NOT SAFE!
    All reptiles are at risk! It will eventually happen to our other exotic pets. Your rats, birds, ferrets, etc. Even cats and dogs are not safe!


    Please Click the link to send your comments to Fish and Wildlife Service. There is a pre-written sample comment that you can just copy and paste.

    Also, there's a typo in the post the mods can't change. It's 1 day left. Not 2.

    I don't think the government cares either, but we can still try and bring awareness.

    Re: Only 1 day left! Fight the Constrictor Ban!

    There are 43,000 members on this site...even if only half are active, that still leaves a huge number. The reptile community is failing itself. 3082 comments is nothing compared to how many people consider themselves in the reptile hobby/ industry. When you look at the numbers, it seems that we don't even care. Why should anyone else?

    They're not all opposing the addition, either.
