I think most of us could agree that proposing some regulation on Burmese python sales (perhaps all snakes over appx 14 ft?) would be a good thing. All of us here are aware that there are people who get in over their heads with reptiles and often don't do their research. Dave, Jeff- people actually have to do some work to find you guys and I'm sure you still get some bizarre and semi-stupid Qs. (Personal favorite being "does it bite?"

It wasn't too long ago that I had someone want to buy my 55g standard aquarium for a Burmese. I told him flat out that it was the wrong tank for what he had. It didn't provide enough floorspace, wasn't good at holding humidity and he'd have to upgrade in a matter of months. He wanted it anyways.

The crux of this one is that they are using one particular type of snake to punish an industry. It's ridiculous. Some senator's kid has to have a BP. Last I read it was prohibiting cross state sales of all boids... has it changed?
