Coolbord9: I won't lie I celebrated a little. I celebrated the bitter sweet small victory that thanks to USARK the Federal Wildlife department didn't add all boa constrictors as well. 1 less hit is still one hit dodged. We won a round but lost the match so to speak. I was one of the people who got that sigh of relief, while many others I know did not get any silver lining. I still feed upset about all this Lacey Act stuff and I know it's only a matter of time until boa constrictors are up for review yet again. I just recently found a new found like of anacondas too, but when and if I have the space for a large snake it would've been a Burmese Python, which thanks to USFWS is and will continue to be nearly impossible to find ever for me.
