>>the gouverment is wanting to create a law that no one can legaly have Pythons and maybe also Boas in the USA ?

>>Will this law be for allover the states ?

Seigi,



What the media is reporting are lies, junk science and half-truths. ALL the evidence so far points to Hurricane Andrew (ie, mass desctruction) as being the major cause of breeding populations in south Florida. And while some schmuck may occasionally release a python, it just doesn't make sense that there enough of these schmucks driving to some isolated area so that the pythons would hook up and breed. There are several laws being proposed, but you have the right idea. The one we are fighting right now would essentially kill the python (all species called pythons) and boa constrictor trade.



Don't believe anything you see on TV about this.



Thanks,

Ed
