    The USARK situation will do 1 of 3 things:

    1) The lacy act gets voted as having no control authority over animals crossing state lines
    - this would allow any snake listed on the lacy act to be transported across state lines again, including all anaconda, Burmese, afrocks, and retics (if added)
    2) Retics are not added on the lacy act, but state transport is ruled as governed under the lacy act
    - case 1 would NOT apply, but retics would again be allowed for importation and crossing of state lines.
    3) We lose both cases, retics are added, and we can not transport lacy animals due to the coverage of interstate transport by the Lacy Act.
    - WCS (Worst case scenario) - this would lead retics to the fate of the Burmese over time.

    Keep your head up and keep saving. More information will be available form USARK on april 1.

    Retics are my passion. Just ask.
