Ball pythons are safe in that bill so you're in luck for now. They are one of the few that are excluded like the GTP.

Easier said than done. I know a handful of legit 501(c)3 rescues that have been given the run-around trying to get such permits. The process for granting approval permits just creates more work for the FWS, so they obviously will either drag their feet or simply deny any requests outright. They do both very routinely.

I'm also sure they've seen enough people running a "rescue" for the posters reason. To get around local laws as well as to get "free" reptiles.

Re: The one and ONLY python BAN thread
Folks, we will not be having anymore than this one ban thread running.
Sorry, but it seems like every forum on the net is getting overrun by threads of people protesting the recent moves in Washington.
There is no call for multiple threads on the same subject.
any and all mention of the ban will automatically be swept into this thread...

On this page it reads "We want this to be global, but we only have the ability to make this into an American holiday. We are happy to help with anyone from any country to do the same. Thanks!

Re: The one and ONLY python BAN thread
Call me a terrible person but I am kinda glad large snakes have been banned and people who really want them need to be licences breeders. To many fools who lack husbandry foresight have abused these animals for far to long. Perhaps years down the road the stereotypes of large snakes will die away because there wont be headlines of idiots dumping there animals in the swamps. I think its good for the animals myself.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make sense.
If only big breeders can have the bigs then who gets the offspring? Its not self sustaining you know.
Yes people dump their snakes when they get too big, but you are aware that the majority of the snakes in the Everglades (the ONLY place with an invasive python problem in the country) are descendant from Vietnamese and Taiwanese lines, these country stopped exporting snakes shortly after Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
I've stated numerous times, I'm ok with size restrictions, NOT breed bans, I don't see why that's so hard.

Re: The one and ONLY python BAN thread
I completely agree. My fear is that it is not going to stop with these few species. I'm going to try what I can to keep them out of the ban. We need to make sure this isn't the first snowball in the avalanche. If we don't fight back, what's stopping us from being buried in the snow?
