Subspecies, not species--not less of a tragedy, but it's important to keep the nomenclature straight (especially when the bill originally couldn't seem to do that).

Boa constrictor is the species. All the rest are subspecies.

Other species of boa such as Epicrates cenchria, or Boa dumerili, are not listed on the bill.

Not all subspecies of Boa constrictor are giant snakes--and the dwarf burm and super-dwarf retic are not either. They will all fall under the listing in this bill, though.

I was suprised to find that we have an unexpected ally in the garment industry. We may dislike the idea of snake skins used to make boots, but Western clothing manufacturers dislike the idea of not being able to import Burm skins any longer. That puts them on our side for now.
