Have you at all been paying attention to what has been happening on the legislative front over the last several years? First we had HR669 that would have included virtually all reptiles and amphibians. Right now, we are dealing with S373/HR2811 that would prohibit import and interstate movement for ANY reason of 9 species of boas and pythons. In previous years, the exact same legislation was passed for big cats (lions, tigers, etc) and then for ALL non human monkeys and primates. See the trend yet?

IMO, you need to quit hiding your head in the sand and thinking that your colubrids or whatever elese you may be keeping will be safe and unaffected. WRONG!!! Again, just look back on HR669. It may be stalled for now, but the folks at HSUS are still just as interested as ever in pushing it. Do I need to post the exert from Wayne Pacelle's blog on the HSUS web site?
IMO, S373 should be everyone's fight regardless of what we keep. United we stand, divided we fall.
