That would definately be a last option, and I dont think rat breeders will be suddenly non-existant either, there will still be rats out there, maybe not as prevalent bet they will be there. I also wasn't meaning everyone would be putting all their pythons down, I just meant that if this passes and people now have 10's, 100's and sometimes thousands of ball pythons, they aren't going to be able to keep them all as pets and buy rats from them on a weekly basis, it would be impossible, especially for the big breeders/hobbyists. Lets just hope this never even happens, I don't think it will, atleast for ball pythons.
