So, I'm going to post the text of HR2811:



To amend title 18, United States Code, to include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal. (Introduced in House)



HR 2811 IH



111th CONGRESS



1st Session



H. R. 2811



To amend title 18, United States Code, to include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal.



IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES



June 10, 2009



Mr. MEEK of Florida introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary



A BILL



To amend title 18, United States Code, to include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal.



Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,



SECTION 1. IMPORTATION OR SHIPMENT OF INJURIOUS SPECIES.



Section 42(a)(1) of title 18, United States Code, is amended in the first sentence by inserting `; of the constrictor snake of the species Python genera' after `polymorpha'.





Is this legislation going to ban ALL PYTHONS or just the following:



Python anchietae

Python breitensteini

Python brongersmai

Python curtus

Python molurus

Python natalensis

Python regius

Python reticulatus

Python sebae

Python timoriensis
