I haven't heard back from the TRAFFIC people yet, but I did find some very very rough import numbers. I don't know where we originally mentioned importation down in that maze below, so I thought I'd post it here instead. Dunno if these will help anything, but it might be better than nothing --

From US FWS:

1970-1995 -- 17,000 burms imported to the US
1996-2006 -- 99,000 burms imported to the US

cited in: Burmese Pythons in South Florida: Scientific Support for Invasive Species Management. Rebecca G. Harvey, Matthew L. Brien, Michael S. Cherkiss, Michael Dorcas, Mike Rochford, Ray W. Snow, and Frank J. Mazzotti. Univ. of FL IFAS Extension, publication no. WEC242
