Even though I expect the worst I would be totally surprised if the full ban would go through. This industry is such a cash cow. You would think the powers that be would try and do anything they could to get their greedy little thieving hands on our money by tapping into this cash cow with the ruling societies laws and regulations.

Find a way to get some skim off the top.

A double edged sword when we call our representatives and let them know how we feel....we are also letting them know how many we are

Don't tread on me!

Please Everyone make the phone calls

they will treat us like Common law breakers.

If you try to ship a snake and get caught , Jail time.

Currently I don't believe this legislation is proposing taking collections away

That's next in line taking collections away by whatever means ,
probably Euthanize entire collections

That would be the next law passed

Here is how current proposal reads roughly:

If passed S373 as written it would Ban all snakes in the family Pythonidae,
placing them on the Injurious Wildlife List of the Lacey Act.
That is ALL 40 species of pythons! This action would stop all
import, export and interstate transport.

So I believe you get to keep the snakes you have .

You can't buy new ones breed and produce more or ship any
to someone in another state.

So doing absolutely nothing to help stop this outrageous
infringement upon our basic right to the pursuit of happiness

isn't a really good position to take

That is my point here

Three Billion dollar a year business will be ruined

The amount of time it took to read & write these posts is all
the time it would take to make the phone calls
