No list has been made officially. The Fish and wildlife department has 90 days to come up with rules and methods to impliment. I would think they would have to define dangerous and Large constrictor. Problem is Strickland gave them a lot to work with if you read the actual exectutive order. They can ban an exotic based on the fact that it could be a carrier of a disease.
The problem is official contact info for Gov. Kasich is not available yet. I don't think the transfer of power is official until Monday the 10th of January. The Ohio States Governors office does have generic contact info, but right now I think Stricklands people are still maning these media outlets. We could start using this number to call on Monday though and see if we could flood the phone lines.
Here is the generic info I found:
Governor's Office
Riffe Center, 30th Floor
77 South High Street
Columbus, OH 43215-6108
Phone/Fax
General Info: (614) 466-3555
Fax: (614) 466-9354
I would think venders of those animals would be interested as well.
I'm surprised that USARK has been silent on this. I remember contacting them several months ago about this and they seemed confident that it would not go forward.
