Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Please excuse any ignorance in this question but this ruling includes Royal/Ball Pythons in the North African Pythons, right?

No, just the northern and southern sub-species of the African Rock Python (Python sebae) -- not all pythons that originate in Africa, thank goodness!

That is a very good question because I don't see any of the scientific names listed in this notice from USARK.
Quote:
As of now the Constrictor Rule, when enacted, will BAN the IMPORT and INTERSTATE TRANSPORT of the following 4 species: Burmese python, Northern African python, Southern African python and yellow anaconda.
|
If the law was written without using scientific names, there is a big loophole that the government could exploit to screw over anyone who owns a python that originated in Africa. By the same token, people could fight the burmese python part of it since there are really only Myanmar pythons in the trade right now.
USARK, was the scientifc name clarified to prevent loopholes?

i hate to tell everyone this but i think it would have been better if all he snakes were left on the list. we will have to take it to court now and if they had listed a bunch of snake unnecessarily it would have been more ammo to discredit the ban altogether but since usark is think fighting and compromise is the same thing this is what we get.
all you people that have so much faith in usark why arnt they here of all days to talk to the people they claim to represent.
i am glad my retics didnt make the list though guess its a good thing me and andrew keep the same kind of snakes

You may have the time to post all day every day, but most people don't, not to mention people involved with USARK right now. Why don't you try giving 'em a bit more time to respond than 9 hours?

My heart goes out to all the folk who are going to get burned by this.
I also recall several years ago getting a lot of shit on the forums because I warned that all the publicity about the Burms on the Glades would escalate this. People, we did this to ourselves, and I fear the end of it is not in sight.
It occured to me that by not listing the other big snakes, there will still be "bad Boys" for the government to seek to protect us from. There will now be some nice test animals for implimenting future restrictions.
