"I don't think down playing this new legislation making it seem insignificant is very smart, this issue should be viewed as a marker for how little protection private owners have"

I completely agree. I don't understand why some seem to be sugar coating a ban on pet ownership. I'm just a little guy who likes to own (not breed) snakes for now. Aside from the fact that the ban is patently stupid on its face and the gov't is creating an oppressive law that inhibit peoples' pursuit of happiness, if I lived in Florida, I'd feel like I was getting thrown under the bus by breeders. I mean let's face it, we all know what caused the Everglades burm population, and it wasn't pet owners. (That's not a knock on breeders/dealers, just pointing out the unfairness of the law.) So to allow breeders to continue business but not allow people to own them as pets is pure bs, based on nothing but politics and back room negotiations. And where is the call for a last minute fax/mail/email bomb to the governor to overturn this idiotic law?
