Here ya go...
At the urging of numerous members of Congress and conservation groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a final rule yesterday listing four species of large, non-native constrictor snakes as “injurious” under the Lacey Act. Species listed include the Burmese python, yellow anaconda, northern African rock python, and southern African rock python. The listing gives the FWS authority to ban the importation and interstate transportation of these snakes, which are known to disrupt native ecosystems and prey upon native, imperiled species of wildlife across the U.S.
