This is the common response, and it is fairly correct, BUT, it also means that if you wanted a ball python, your request for importation, or sale would take FOREVER to be processed, and may be denied. So buying a ball python now takes about 5 mins, if this happens getting a BP in general may take weeks!

I'd personally like to hear from the people making the approved list of hundreds of thousdands if not millions of species of animal that would need to be approved or denied..... so what is to happen during the time the lists are made up... the market just wont hault.
