SUPPOSEDLY the pets currently owned will be "grandfathered" and will not be affected. However, the purchase, breeding and selling of any future animals listed on that bill will be strictly forbidden. There are loopholes in the bill as it's currently worded, but I'm sure specifics and so forth will change before anything goes into law. No matter how you look at it, this does not bode well for us at all. I am of the mindset that I want to get at least 2 more Balls and a Rainbow Boa before this law goes into effect.
I'm still curious as to what the government will do should we decide to breed our own snakes and just keep them to ourselves....
