What do you mean saying " all boas and all pythonsare protected species under European law" ?
As far as I know if you want move across borders with reptiles you have to have a documents. This documents are bull **** and have nothing common with protection of animals though these docs suppose to protect animals. Anyway documents literally say your animal is captive born and wasn't took in a wild nature. So this docs are about CITES - (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as the Washington Convention) . CITES has several lists. And all boas and pythons are in list 2. Crossing borders you have to have docs your reptile is in list 2 or 3 or isn't in list 1,2,3.

I know in Latvia you have to pay tax for any captive born reptile and this ****** laws kill interest of people to have reptiles.

It's really stupid to have such a laws about boa and pythons bc it's tropical animals , they can't live in Europe wild.
