DANGER: Python Ban Moving Fast!!!

[snakemastercanada]

I'm confused, my understanding is that this bill will only affect the python genus, comprised of 7 species and a few subspecies.

"To amend title 18, United States Code, to include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal."

gen·er·a (jěn'ər-ə)
n. Plural of genus.

How does this affect over 40 species??

I'm just asking for clarification, not in any way "supporting" this horrendous bill.

genera is the plural of genus, so if it says Python genera, my guess is that it is all the pythons, which would be pythonidae. The way they say it is poor wording, but just "Python genera" by itself I would interpret as meaning all python species, or the family pythonidae. Either way it is pretty crappy and worth fighting!!!
