Here's some additional import numbers from another source, and a description of their source:



"I analyzed the trade in snakes imported to the United States using data taken from the Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS), which is maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This database contains import and export declarations detailing the numbers, species composi- tion, and monetary value of shipments, and comprises the only detailed record of the legal domestic reptile trade."
