The one and ONLY python BAN thread (HR511)

You seem to think Exwizard that bills can't change. I don't know about down there but a bunch of municipalities here in Ontario have changed their bylaws from excluding ANY boid to size restrictions. That tells me that no matter what the "feds" do that Iowa can STILL change.

I would put the size restriction probably at 3 metres just to answer your question. I'm sorry if you ever lost your pet to that kind of bill but in reality the giant keepers will have to give something up.

The 10th Amendment of the US constitution reads "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
This SHOULD be something left to the states, but no state is going to challenge this in the supreme court.
That said, if the national law is more restrictive than a state law, its the national law you go by, regardless of what your state says.

Im telling you that they WONT change this law, not that they cant and frankly Im glad they wont change to a size restriction of 3 meters as you put it. Des Moines has a size limit ordinance of 6' unless you have a permit. I paid $125 plus 20 hours of class time to get this permit and Im not giving her up no matter what you may say about it. Frankly Im glad that the powers that be dont have the negative fatalistic attitude that you have because I see a lot of ignorance in the Des Moines legislature as it is, resulting in much worse and draconian laws that those aready in the books.

I deal with reality as it exists now, not some ban that extremists are hoping for but that has not happened.
