I am very intense. I take it to the extreme. If I don't know something, I find out. Every year, year after year, WC gravid feamles are imported and sold. I don't go by heresay. If I am told by the USFW it is illegal, then we need to get the practice stopped. In fact, we should stop the importation of all ball pythons of 1000g or larger during the breeding season, just to make sure no female comes in graivd, ovulating or has follicles.
I see you are using a "loophole" by saying you bring in normal females, that just happen to become gravid once they get here.
That is kind of a gray area, don't you think?
I'm not here to fight, or cause problems. I just want to get to the bottom of this one issue. I don't wish to get myself into any trouble, or cause any other hobbyist likewise.
