Feds Move To Ban Pythons & Boas

No beardies??? That's ludicrous!! What is it with all these anti-herper laws lately?

I think the problem is that many of these laws are made by people with insufficient knowledge
it's bureaucrats run wild

My opinion also. In Belgium, we're reacting by filling in sheets with behaviour/requirements/level of danger/... and 1 reptile organisation is collecting them and will send them in. But we're such a small country and so few people have reptiles, this will be a very hard one to win.

So I'm certainly with you guys and hope it will turn out for you!

hmm..maybe we should ban bureaucrats.... has anyone heard of a boa or python killing anyone here in the U.S.?????? every time I see someone that got eaten by a large snake, its always someone out in the middle of nowhere in the snakes territory....not at some residential home with a large snake in a cage......

death by reptile can't be much more common than accidental bath tub drownings

That's the only thing that actually needs to be banned.

There is a huge population of nile monitors in the western portion of florida.It's great when you are walking in the woods all by yourself and one of those things goes flying though the bushes.Scares the crap out of you.Not as bad as when I got growled at by something large in the bushes.I did,nt stick around to find out what it was.
