I'm sure importation will slow dramatically over time. The word gets around that wild caught are not great captives, fewer people will therefor support the importers of them. Will it ever stop completley? Not likely in the near future. Fresh blood is always a good thing for any project from what I hear. With the increased number of ball pythons being produced in the US, the demand for wild caught will slowly slope to a trickle I would think. I am no expert at the ball python economy but this is just what all the economic and buisness classes has put in my mind.
