We are talking about a country where they did the same with their own people. It was called slavery. It was wrong with people, and it is wrong with animals. Places in other countries that support them like some of the "Importers" who advertise on our very own Kingsnake.com are the only way to stop this. While I am also guilty of buying imports in the past, I try not to support certian immporters who are stop overs and order hundreds of Ball pythons or Savanha monitors or Iguannas. There are a couple reputable ones out there with morals. Unfortunately Ball pythons, Savanha monitors, and Iguannas have become "Disposeable Pets". They are usually the first reptile a "biginner" gets because they think they are cool. In reality they are animals that need more requirements than most other reptiles. From diet, nutrition, housing, heat, and UVB. Not to mention they can inflict serious wound on the untrained handler. Just my own 2 cents.
