Here is something you all need to look at and take action. Feds and fish and wildlife are trying to ban all boa and python species to be imported and interstate transport. That means whatever state you are in that is where you can buy or sell from. Anything else would be illegal. Whether you are a hobbyist or business this will be a problem. For example on the business side many people will get out due to the fact that they are restricted to selling to customers within a state. As time goes that will affect the quality of animals and at that time affect the hobbyist itself. There are many more examples and I am sure many of you can figure that out real quick. And if this law is pass what will stop the feds and fish & wildlife to do the same to all reptile species. The link below is a link to the F & W proposal. Take a look at it.

And after you read that and think how it really can affect you and the whole hobby please take time and leave a comment with F & W. Let them know what you think about the proposal, why it would affect you and the hobby itself.

Please take this matter of importance and not a joke like most of the proposal F & W usually do. Send as many comments as possible as you like but use different names and info. And also forward this email to as many people you know that have a reptile. And do remember your comments have to be in by April 30, 2008. All the comments help. Thanks for your time.
