Re: Ball pythons banned in New York City.
Wow! They (N.Y.C.) have even banned garter snakes and all colubrids. Any snake having or possessing the duvernoys gland, along with every other snake you can speak of that is of the family boidae, pythonidae, all constrictors, definitely the giants and all venomous. That's inclusive of the 5 boroughs. Not sure how this applies to Nassau and Suffolk County. Yet you have people with dogs and cats who allow their animals to defecate on the sidewalks, in front of buildings, and the streets and in business districts and won't think about cleaning up after them. Then you want to make snakes illegal when it's in my home and I have to clean up after him. What gives these lawmakers the right to infringe on what I do in my own home!!! I have a certificate of authority by the state of N.Y. to operate a live ," harmless reptile business" from my home. Also to vendor at Expos so I guess we need to start there. Hopefully everyone will join USARK now bc they are our main hope. I understand there has been new amendments to the Lacey Act this year that makes it illegal in all 50 states including the district of Columbia and Puerto Rico to have, sell, transport across state lines any "wildlife" including fish, reptiles of any kind , mammals. This is utterly ridiculous. It includes import and or exports of said animals and comes with fines and imprisonment or both. A garter snake!!!! Really! I will get the actual legislation and try to link it here soon. What a shame!
Stay in peace and not pieces.

This thread has taken quite the turn from the forum's intended purpose of Pet Related Laws & Legislation. Please course-correct or this thread will be split in order to stay on topic.

Indeed and apparently some people still fail to stay on topic when asked
So since anything political (government, rights, constitution etc) or anything religious has no place on the main forum and should be posted in the Quarantine room to start with, this thread was cleaned up, for those interested you an find the spin-off here http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ights-and-more
If you do not have access to QT please PM one of our admins (name in RED)
Any further off topic post made in this thread will be deleted and there will not be a third warning.
Now back to our regular programming.

Re: Ball pythons banned in New York City.
https://www.fws.gov/le/pdffiles/Lacey.pdf. Moderators, if this link is not able to remain here can you please post it accordingly. This was what I recently heard of as a update to the Lacey Act but the dates on these pages does not show it's been updated. Thanks in advance. Also, have not received a update by email from USARK on this at all.

Re: Ball pythons banned in New York City.
This page was also something that surfaced recently... Mods, please remove this if it's in the wrong place. Thank you. http://nraac.org/pdf/2012USFWS_LaceyActPresentation.pdf Please view pages 11 through 18 as it relates to reptiles.
