Python molurus subspecies and Lacy Act

[Brewster320]

I was curious as to whether just the Burmese is affected by the lacy act or if the Indian and Sri Lankan python subspecies were also affected by this? I don't have any interest in keeping any of these but I was just curious as everything seems to be pointed toward the Burmese itself and not the other two subspecies.

If it is a subspecies of the burm it is included as well as any hybrid burmese pythons such as the bat eater (retic x burm). Also there were 2 types of African rock pythons and the yellow anaconda? added to it as well. Somebody correct me if I am wrong about the yellow anaconda...

[Brewster320]

No your correct about the rocks and the yellow anaconda. I just didn't know if it was just the Burmese subspecies or all the subspecies.

Indian rock is included in the Lacy Act which is included for the Sri Lankan.

As of right now it is - Asian Rock (burmese), Indian Rock (Sri Lankan), African Rock, Yellow Anaconda

[Denial]

Indian pythons were already on the lacey act before the whole burmese mess happened

Indians are also under the CITES appendix that prohibits them from being owned without proper permits :-) Should aslo be noted that burmese are now Python Bivitatus bivitatus correct?
