If you thought you knew the whole story of the Burm Ban.
You don't.
Trying to fill out my permit app. (educational show) I came across some new info.
There are educational permits to cross state lines as long as the burm is double crated. You can use the Burm in the show as long as it is an interior room. A free standing school gym would NOT be okay.OUTDOORS is DEFINITELY NOT OKAY.
Outdoors like in Fairs and Festivals.
ALSO,and you'll love this. Once a specific snake is permitted this double enclosed rule applies the rest of it's natural life.
They actually say you may want more than one Burm and only permit
the one you travel with.
So even at home if you take the Burm outside for a photo op with visiting friends...You just violated the Lacey Act.
And the kicker, applies to all offspring as well.

Rent a Burm???

I don’t own a burm but I do own a few yellow anacondas so this does directly relate:
Recently the vet I use has asked to use one of my yellow anacondas for a vet learning thing that the hospital is putting on, so would I need to get one of these permits? It will be used indoor, in a vet hospital after their hours so only to educate students looking to become vets and interested in exotics. If I do need a permit I should only need one for the 1:3 group I have of yellow anacondas right? I am a bit confused about this, I am not trying to move them across lines just a few miles down the road and I don’t want to be in any violations so any advice is welcome.
From my understanding you are free to do what you want with your snake as long as you do not cross state lines. Of course you must still follow any state or local ordinances.
D.C. was referring to a snake that has been permitted for interstate transport for educational purposes. From reading his post I guess that once a snake has been permitted for that purpose it has to remain in its double walled enclosure the rest of its life. So that removing it from the cage outdoors would violate the permit and thus violate Lacey. At least that's what I understood from the original post.
