From what I understand (this info has been passed onto me through a friend, I will check and validate it..)
My Understanding is that Angolans are illegal to import as the are illegal to export from Angola. Angolan Pythons are their national snakes, and it's illegal to take them out of the country. So any animals in the USA or anywhere else on the globe are technically smuggled or the product of smuggled animals. Canada wont allow them through the border (again, I'll do my own research and get back to you guys).
That's what I have been told. I'll see what I can find for ya'll.
Cheers,
Chris.
Okay I can't find any information to substantiate the claims that they are illegal. I must have been mistaken. My appologies. I found some information about the Angolan Civil War that had affected export up to this point.
I'll keep looking.. I don't know why he would tell me they are illegal if they are not.
Mind you I am interested in breeding them, and he might want to deter me from jumping on the project before he does. I have been looking for them in Canada for a while now and I can't find any LOL I figured there was validity to his claims.
Just goes to show you, do your own homework.
