How many years now has the rumor about no more WC/farmed ball pythons being imported been circulating? I've heard it every year for at least the past 8 yrs...
They might reduce the numbers, or skip a year; but barring something happening to the natural population, the animals are a sellable product. I don't know about the areas of Africa that supply the BPs, savannahs, etc; but, in many countries, if animals weren't exported there would be higher than normal death rates due to loss of habitat, food competition, etc.
