Don't forget, Ohio's giant snake laws, now have new requirements. Ensure you know these requirements and stick to them to the T. I have seen some breeders offering snakes on Fauna Classifieds for ohio, just need to dig a bit, but they are there.

It worries me about you knowing the legal side of the law for owning these constrictors in Ohio given the "How do they know" question of concern. They are correct in the fact that FWS are opening and inspecting live animal packages. NOW, whether or not they can tell the difference between a Burmese and a ball python is a completely different question but they have the right to decide that. . .

Robyn at SYR will not be a happy camper if their shipping account gets hit because a federal inspection finds a lacy act species inside one of their account shipped boxes
