but it does say that you arent allowed to breed it i would contact big names liveing in new your like the burkes and find out if and what they are planing on doing about this its things like that that make me glad to have moved out of new york because i for one will only give up my boas when they pry them from my cold dead fingers. what gets me is how everyone voted on that bill it was almost unanmouse only 2 names voted no on it thats sad how people who have nothing to do with our hobby can make laws to hurt it so

god bless america huh? yeah right!
