I have 3 Indian Pythons myself. Hardly an pics on this site of Indian Pythons. Also, no pics of large Anacondas. I wonder if people get rid of anancondas when they get big.

thank you, i have been tryin to find a female for him within my state but have had no luck so far

Just curious, what state are you in? I have 3 Indians (I'm in Texas) and may trim it down to two. Mine are about 6 months old. Regards.

i live in pa, i would love to help you out on the trim down but due to the permits needed i am unable to, i am concidering a move out of pa with in the next year or two, wich may cause me to get rid of mine ?, and due to the fact that i do not wish to cross breed him with a burm, is leaving me in a delema, i have yet to find a female in pa that i can aquire or breed to get a female for myself, wish you luck i think they are wonderful, but they too need to be worked with to keep calm.

Since you've already obtained it legally, I would just assume you can take it with you. That's not a legal opinion, just what I would do. Slim chance of getting caught (if not technically legal). If by some remote chance you did, play innocent, you didn't know. Get your records showing where and how you bought it.

This country's laws are so screwed up I don't respect it anymore, this place (U.S.) is a joke. So sad.

personally,

personally, going through the red tape is the best way to keep them and all your stuff, i do not wish to lose my stock and go to jail over them, playing dumb is only going to make things a lot worse on the whole reptile community. i personally feel that if it was captive breed in the us that the legalities(?), should not be enforced, as long as you can prove it was c.b., but who am i

Yeah, I guess all I'm saying is that common sense, logistics, fair play, reasonableness, etc. are not attributes of our government...so watch out...take it from there. In particular, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife organization is WELL KNOWN to be a total joke, they abound with incompetent fools who don't know a python's ass from its head. Just a bunch of beaurocratic idiots getting paid to sit on their posterior portions for doing nothing useful, except harrassing innocent hobbyists.

Do you know the origin of the indians you have in Texas? I am trying to run down a few breeders and origins of the bloodlines left in the U.S.

thanks

your in luck, I have several indians and have applied for permits to obtain unrelated bloodlines, the law allows only for interstate commerce (sales) to be regulated the Endangered Species Act. If you bought one in your home state and move to another, you can legally transport it across state lines as your personal property. I would call and just chat with a biologist at 1-800-358-2104 and get the info for a permit so you can purchase a female in another state. If that is a Ceylonese I personally would not breed it to a mainland form for the fact I like the pattern types found on both forms.
cheers hope this help.
