If that is all the farther it goes, I would be okay wit that.

if it stops there it might be ok. i just hope enough breeders continue within the U.S to support our addiction

I always thought new morphs were found in the wild and brought to the US. Wouldn't this stop a new gene from coming to be in the BP world?
And what are the other "large" snakes that r listed b/c I love how they only mention 1 type a snake to get ppls attention and they will vote on it w/o knowing the other snakes being banned out of ignorance.

In the UK we are led to believe there is currently legislation at hand in the US to ban certain species from being transported over state lines ..seemingly this is in relation to species inhabiting the Florida everglades & overtaking the indigenous species habitat..is this the case?
Banning the importation of species seems to be connected
