If usfws wanted to bust your balls, they can ticket you for every single egg a chameleon drops in a bag...and we know it happens all the time.....becuase each egg viable or not, has to have cities.....a gaboon viper have babies in bags all the time, and people get fined all the time becuase even witht he goo and all, its extra animals not listed on the papers.....
its lacey act violation to import gravid ball pythons period. Reason being, the countries of origin cannot "tax" on eggs not hatched there.....so they prohibit exportation of gravid females.....also those females are supposed to be released as well...they cant be released when they are sent here.....
on top of all that.....any knowingly gravid animal of any type or unweaned mammal cannot be imported via IATA regulations.....its in the rule book....and usfws is supposed to enforce that.....
they just dont seem to care for ball pythons I guess....but they would and have confiscated ball python eggs that are layed in transit....thats a fact seen by my own eyes....why? becuase they are not ont he documents....
