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.

Wow, my sympathies to you all, you have a BIG fight on your hands.
I'm outside the USA and haven't followed this in detail, but am I right in thinking that this bans trade across states but not within states? I.e., you can still trade within your state?
Then what happens if you move house: can you take your existing snakes across state boundaries? Because if you can I can see a future for snake couriers who legally own the animal for a couple of days while it's transferred.....

Interstate trade would be banned. If you moved to another state technically you'd be committing a felony if you take them with you.

Is this a good time to buy a Burmese python?
It seems they are very close to becoming illegal and probably will become impossible to obtain if this bill is passed. What's your take?
Also, on another note I am interested in acquiring permission to quote some of the individuals posting here for an article in a local magazine here in my area. I'm new here, so please PM me if interested.

Wow, so you'd be "Trading" even if you moved house and took your long-owned pet with you? That REALLY stinks.

Not to go off thread too much, but how do the venomous owners manage this? Surely it's the same issue?

The way our Constitution intended it to be. Each city/township has it's own laws, or lack of, with it's own requirements for keepers & any county/state laws would also have to be followed. I get bit a lot so I don't keep hots though, so I don't know the exact specifics.
Also each state has it's own set of laws governing it's native species.
If you don't know It goes from largest governing power/grouping country,state,county, city here. Each sub set can have it's own further limiting laws but can't make something that's illegal on a higher level legal on the lower level.
