not a joke at all and usfw does not write the laws. The inspectors do OJT (on job training) to keep up with the laws and id of reptiles and other animals. Ive had inspectors say how nice green tree python and it was an emerald tree BOA. Not every single law is well known by those who enforce it. LIke i said about insects. In Miami, insects were very often shipped in with reptiles from other countries. USFW let them in and until just recently they started confiscating them because they didnt realize there was a law against it. Ask anyone who imports MIA port and has tried to get milipds in recently.

anyhow, if you want to get a real answer the listed person above could help, if not, wait and see if USFW tell you right or not..

And by the way, if you get yours from a guy with first name starting with "I" then he knows and you can ask him.. anyone who has been importing for awhile should know..
