I am going to bow out of this conversation now because it is starting to go all over the place.
IMHO, updating the bill to only propose a ban on the animals in question and not ALL PYTHONS is clearly a victory for the world of reptile keepers.
This victory does NOT mean that we can't continue to fight the bill as we have to date. It does not mean that we are giving up our right to force expert testimony on the subject to the deciding parties. All it does is remove animals completely unrelated to the issues at hand from the chopping block.
Thanks for chatting with me Neil! I have purchased 5 snakes from you so far and look forward to buying MANY more in the future. they are some of my favorites!!!
P.S. Thanks for that link Raul, I had not seen that. Great write up!!!!
