More snakes to join Burmese python on restricted list

[ajmreptiles]

You just gotta love that 1% of people who own big snakes who saw this cute little $20 snake more monitor lizard get is and in a few hours say "now what?" and release it. what I personally think should happen is: if you are in a state where invasives are an issue, you have to get a 5-10 year permit to keep them and go through a small class (to weed out the idiot keepers) then you are allowed to keep and sell whatever you want. And keep the rest of the state's free. Obviously that won't happen and there would be so many loopholes. This whole thing is gonna be the "20s alcohol prohibition" of reptiles.

Florida had dealt with that issue, requiring you to have a permit and to have the snake micro chipped and if they found the snake in the wild you faced some hefty fines

I don't see anything on USARK's Page

Anyone know what happened?

the USFWS is to make the announcement any moment now
