The people who keep trying to pass all these bans are retarded. The ban of a entire genus will not get banned, they would have to really restrict and get detailed about which they're banning, but they're not going to ban the whole python genus. I don't think anybody is that stupid enough, it would really hurt a part of the economy.

Neal just what do you mean , why would a bunch of no-mind politicians care anything in the slightist bit about the genus python. We must fight this all the way the politicians veiwpoint of pythons is the media viewpoint they are not in any way using common sense like you and many others would use from experience of keeping a pet snake. there whole experience of snakes is nothing more than hollywood movies.

call who and say what i feel like giving someone an ol punch in the teeth will do better

dont settle on the banning of ANY species, even burmese pythons. because once you do that...then it will be retics, olives, scrubs, bloods, then the boa side.....

Unfortunatly there are no politicians that have been running since I have been old enough to vote that are vocal either way about their views of keeping reptiles and other exotic animals.. at least none that have been in support of it.

I found out something interesting the other day. I e-mailed my state legislators concerning the python situation down in Florida. I actually got a reply from one of them. He said that he agreed that the ban wasn't the solution and it was an unfortunate knee jerk reaction to the situation.

Of course, in my e-mail I went with the statistics of dog attacks/deaths vs pythons and then switched to the economic benefits that the reptile industry has. If anyone is interested in looking at it and possibly using it to send e-mails, let me know and I'll post it.

So is this only a Florida thing? Will the opinion of someone from NY matter?
