Is anyone doing this? If we can stop the ban and get them on a domesticated animal list would this stop any further attempt at banning boas?

I could be wrong but I believe USARK has also fighting the war on that front as well. I agree, it should effectively end this problem we have. Once and for all. Take care. Mike Panichi

Getting an animal labeled as domesticated wont stop the attempts to ban that animal. Look at the laws against pitbulls in different creas they are domestic dogs and still have bans.
On the other note it take thousands of years of breeding animals in captivity that Reptiles just dont have yet.
This is a great idea to stop the ban, but I dont think it will work. Keep thinking of ideas.

Well you could argue that it doesn't take year's but generations and some reptiles breed fast enough and at a young enough age to turn over a lot of generations out of the wild like I would say that corn snakes and Leo geckos are domesticated wild type in captivity doesn't quite match up with a true wild collected animal I remember someone maybe bill love I'm not positive it was someone with him in that video he made a couple years ago well anyway they claimed that they could even tell what large breeder produced the leopard gecko like the ones from gourmet rodent look different from others head and body shape that sort of thing. It would seem to be similar to the way dog breeds have broken off to what we know today. I don't think this would work for boa's yet but anything is worth trying
