I agree with you tosha, There are too many loop holes in the written law. In almost all books and care sheets it says balls get about 4-5 feet. Yes there may be some larger ones but i dont see them searching for the largest ball in the world to prove a piont to make a harmless snake illegal, most laws worded as such are to eliminate large boids, retics burms ext. I personally think the law is rediculous and wont be passed or will have to be re-written prior to passing. In no state except NYC are ball pythons illegal. And you can still sell them in NY just not the city. There are many laws that have been passed to make large boids illegal, but not one that has made balls illegal, on what grouds do they feel they should be illegal,they cant kill humans,cant kill the family pet and cant live in our climates like burms in FL can. I dont see Balls becoming illegal, if everyone in Indy thinks it could be possible get a petition together. PETA tried to make feeder animals illegal in RI afew years ago, we got a petition together and the law was thrown out, its worth a try if you trully think its possible. If they just want large boids to be illegal,get a bunch of people together to explain on average balls only get 5feet and should not be classified under this law. Looks like there are alot of people in Indy, the more mouths the better.

Good luck

Just my thoughts.
