If you're referring to BCI and BCC, then the reason you're seeing them still up for sale everywhere is because they were not included in the final rule change. Only Burmese, both species of Afrocks and the yellow anaconda.
Of course, you also still see ads for those four species. Why? Because people still don't care. One could argue (and I'm sure it has already been debated somewhere in the previous 20+ pages of this thread), that this federal rule change is largely un-enforceable, and the liklihood of actually getting caught shipping a Burm or driving across state lines with one is pretty darn slim to one if you're careful and discreet.
However, all it takes is one screw-up to get caught. One FEDEX package to get opened up and there's another black eye on our industry. Just more ammunition against us ("Those darn reptile people have no regard for even a federal law!"). As much as I absolutely hate this law, and I think it sucks, I really don't think people should be pushing the envelope.
