Mr. Salazar and the Fed. gov't are using the one size fits all solution. Why not just enforce the regulations already in place and make sure any imported reptile is going to a responsible owner or institution. If they ban all imports what happens to the private breeders? Swat teams coming in the middle of the night for extraction? They'll kill all the snakes because it's cheaper than setting them up in reasonable habitats. Here in NYC the Ball Python is banned for being a potential danger?
