Hmmm lets go get those gangs peeps! LOL anyway all the restrictions and apply for permits for individuals and breeders I have included the link to the Ministry of Environment site who is enforcing this law.

It was just announced today so if you are in BC, Canada and own, take a look.

Isn't 3 meters like close to 9 feet? That would be a world record Ball Python.

3 meters = 9.84251969 feet

so yes ball pythons are safe. ofcourse we know the large breeds that are not, some pythons and boas respectivly.

yep but normal length for burm, retic, rock, so it does affect, plus there 800 SNAKES!!! in the band, do you see, it will trickle down!!
Sorry to hear that.

[JeffJ]

the only way i see any punishment coming to preexisting owners is if it manages to cause some issue to the general public.

But he posted it in the BP General section

I understand the trickle down effect, but you guys need to organize to stop any further encroachment on your rights.

That's why we have guns in America. Sometimes we need a good ole revolution to right the wrongs that morons do.

YEAH, good luck with that. You obviously havent seen the proposed fire arms ban proposal. Down the road I think the only guns we will be able to buy will be a cap gun, then they'll end up banning those for representation of a banned firearm.I'm waiting on the rock throwing ban personally lol.

Moved to General Pythons.

Are we talking about snakes... or firearms and healthcare?

If the latter then we'll have to split the thread and toss it in QT.
