Im as cynical as the next guy but I think thats a stretch. This isnt that big of a media issue to be honest. Outside some circles, this is a non-issue ( media wise ). Had I not read it on here, I would have never known it passed. I watch and read the news regularly and have seen no mention of it. Granted, in some states im sure its much more of a hot topic than other states. Personally, I just dont see this being an issue that the media really picks up and runs with even if a few snakes gets confiscated, especially if they are being shipped properly.

Really, I think this is going to be a non issue because I cant imagine FedEx continuing to ship snakes if their processing centers are setup like it has been said they are. I think the real issue is going to be them banning ALL shipping of reptiles. That would be the easiest way for them to solve any shipping issues.

Of course this is all conjecture at this point. Who knows how this is going to play out.
