Last Chance to stop the Python and Boa Ban!

[ConcinusMan]

I feel for you but I don't give a damn. I would like to see many species of boas and pythons get banned. Too darn many of them being bred and suffering at the hands of inexperienced and irresponsible people who buy them. I am quite sick of seeing neglected and injured balls and boas pouring in to the local rescues. It's ridiculous. Bottom line is, they aren't the greatest pet to be having in the first place.

Now how exactly does the proposed change make it so reptile shows won't be able to continue? Doesn't sound right to me.

The big money getters at shows are not the garter snakes and other colubrids, it is the boids. Show organizers may not be able to fill enough tables if breeders can't come from out of state to sell the animals that make them the most money. If not enough tables are filled, the organizers don't make as much money, attendance drops further limiting profits, and shows all across the country shut down.

It makes perfect sense to me.
