Remove Certain Snakes From the Injurious Species List- Restricting Travel Across State Lines

Created by S.S. on April 22, 2013

The ban on trading Burmese python, the northern and southern African pythons, and the yellow anaconda and other snakes across state lines. This needs to be removed in order to protect the jobs of snake breeders and any snake keeper in the amazingly fast growing herp hobby. Because of a couple of lousy owners in Florida. The rest of the country will face consequences. Snakes are beautiful and relatively harmless creatures and cannot be restrained to staying in a certain state. I am calling for the proposed reticulated python, the DeSchauensee’s anaconda, the green anaconda, the Beni anaconda and the boa constrictor to be rejected off the Injurious Species List and for the Burmese python, the northern and southern African pythons, and the yellow anaconda to be removed from the list as well.
