and saw some gut get an estimated $70,000 in constrictors seized from his place! Some included albino boas, a big beautiful hypo, balls het. pied, stunning womas, and some show stopper jungle carpets. Normally animal cops sickens me but when you see an albino boa while flipping thru the channels you kinda get confused!
At first I couldnt believe it I thought it must be a albino burm (no offense lol) but it turned out to be boa from this guys well maintained collection. The man seemed to be educated keeper and by no means deserved it anyone has any clue hue it was because I felt very sorry for him. Also he had a big beautiful albino boa it looked all orange.

he was keeping the Boids against local ordinances. Much like keeping/breeding Retics in NY.

I thought in New York all Boas and Pythons are not legal.
I really do not understand???!!!
Where could I look at laws in diff. States?
Does anyone knows where to get this information?
thanks,

I don't know where you could view all laws for different states (serach on state websites). However, NY's original ban was for all Boidae, that was rewritten. The Boids now included are all four species of Anaconda (Eunectes sp?), Python Molorus ssp. (Burmese and Indian), Reticulated and Scrub pythons are also included.

I know a lot of breeders would have moved if the ban was on all Boas and Pythons. The Burkes are in Long Island.
