There are two sections of the Lacy Act; one bans ownership, one bans interstate commerce. I don't know which section they're putting the pythons on.

And as for hysterical hand waving--where? I'm saying there's not evidence, that the ONLY study claiming they're a threat is deeply flawed and that this action is based on group hysteria. I state that they're unable to inhabit much of the country. That is based on the care they require versus the climate in most of the country. I live in Texas--we've had 0 degree days this year. How well would a retic or burm fare in that weather? And we're not exactly the northern Rockies here...

As for quickly reproducing...boas have 20-40 babies, retics and burms both lay several dozen eggs per clutch...they have fairly good reproductive capabilities.
