The North Carolina Association of Reptile Keepers are forming a defense against this proposed ban. They are requesting donations. Check them out at the below link.

I've been a member for a while now. Join if you can or donate if you can or both.... even just a $2 donation will help!
They are looking to form a national model based on the NCARK model, but need funding to appose the current proposal by USF&W. Hiring a legal defense costs a lot of money!
The current proposed ban put forth by USF&W isn't just a proposed ban on import/exportation of boas and pythons and even more damaging the banning of transporting interstate, but.... The designation of Boas and Pythons as "injurious wildlife" carries a lot of baggage. It means that not only would there be a ban on import and interstate transport, but a ban on ownership... make no doubts about it, this is as serious as it can possibly get.... it's your way of life and hobby that is at risk!
