crossing state borders with pythons and reticulated pythons
Hey everyone, my name is Roxie. I am new to the whole online posting but they guy at the pet place where I but all my food and equipment recommend it. I live in Kansas but am moving to Colorado in five months. Does anybody know if there are laws about crossing state lines with them? I have a young ball python and about a two year old that are regular. I also have a butter but she is still young as well. I will very soon be getting a reticulated python as a baby. I'm just curious if I'll have any trouble transporting them?

The ball python is fine to move across the state border. but the retic, as of right now to be able to cross state border you need to have been a member of USARK since at least April 8th, 2015 otherwise I would suggest that you wait to receive your snake until you move into your new home

It isn't like moving to a different state someone is going to search your vehicle for snakes... or at all. Though it may not seem or feel like it, we are still America. Look into how and why this country was founded. Move your snakes and be happy, don't let the idiots running this country into the ground separate you from your passion.

You should never condone law breaking, especially a felony, online.
To OP: Even if you receive a retic before moving and are not a member who is allowed to ship them, you can always find another approved USARK member to ship your retic for you.
As of this time, ball pythons are not illegal to transport. However, there may be specific state laws that do regulate or forbid their transport.

The Lacey Act in and of itself is unconstitutional and is absolutely one of many examples of illegal government intrusion and regulation of the private sector.
Millions of illegal immigrants flood across our borders every year, and we are supposed to smile and take it? Yet we should blindly follow laws that prevent us from bringing our pets to a new state?
I live in Colorado, welcome to our amazing state! When you cross the Colorado/Kansas border on I70 you wont even realize you have done it. There is literally nothing there. Drive the speed limit and you wont get pulled over. A good soldier never leaves a man behind .
Note that I am NOT condoning or promoting any felonious activities, merely commenting on the situation at hand.
