First, you cannot acquire an interstate commerce permit without first obtaining and submitting a statement, from the breeder / owner, with your application, as the permits are specimen specific, not species specific.

Second, and I could be going out on a limb here, but isn't this particular female believed to be a dwarf? Forgive me if I am wrong, but I recall Mike making a post to this regard a short time ago and I harbor grave concerns regarding such a specimen producing offspring, which may later trickle down to the mainstream. Of course, I highly suspect a dwarf female would perish attempting to pass a clucth of eggs, though if for some chance oviposition was successful and the eggs fertile. Well that's just a mess I don't even wish to think about.

I believe Drymarchon exhibiting dwarfism make great pets and educational specimens, but I do not believe any responsible herpetoculturist would attempt breeding such an animal...
