I heard the same thing at the shop I frequent a few months ago. From what I understand, the larger snakes, Burms, AfRocks, Retics, etc. have been banned in CT, though there's no penalty if you own any of these species pre-law. I believe that if you are to breed any of the big snakes, you need a special breeder permit from the state.

CT seems to be cracking down on any big snakes - there was talk of the possibility of banning Blood Pythons after the 1st of the year as well, but I haven't heard anything about that, as well as some lizards - Uromastyx are supposedly on the list to be banned soon as well.

Slightly Off-Subject: I also hear that CT has banned Axolotls, which is slightly concerning for me, because I breed mine every Spring.

I'm interested in seeing how this all turns out.
