I think a summit would be a very good strategy! Also, I wonder if we could find out whether there are legislators and others with clout who own these types of snakes who could be a part of it. I would bet there are some! The more support from well-respected people we can gather the better. Sometimes power can trump money!

I also think showing how all this regulation would be cost prohibitive is a good way to go because for alot of people that would be the deal-breaker, even if they were on the other side of the issue before.
