I don't live in Rhode Island but went ahead and sent a letter. I added the points that Ball Pythons are not aggressive and are alot more likely to hide their heads when threatened than bite and that even if they did bite they can't do any real damage, and said that this legislation sets a bad precedent and bad example to other states.

Hopefully the state doesn't throw out opinions coming from other states.

I really hate that this is happening because I'm trying to take my time picking out a pair of Ball Pythons and getting all the accessories but am really worried this crap might come to Georgia at any moment and I might lose my chance.

Such a bill that includes ALL Pythons really ups the ante from previous legislation that's been introduced, so it sure looks like that is their eventual goal throughout the country piece by piece.
