First, the government isn't placing bands on anything. (Bands are required on many captive birds, but that is a different discussion & not really relevant in the Pythons discussion area.) What they have done is put 4 species large constrictors on the injurious wildlife list, effectively prohibiting interstate sales traffic. If one makes a living by selling those species as pets, or for breeding, then that listing absolutely gets in the way.

Those permits are granted only for zoological, medical, scientific, and educational purposes; and documentation is required. Sales outside of those purposes are not covered, and I would be rather surprised if exceptions were made for breeders with pet store contracts as that would be in conflict with the whole purpose of getting those species so listed.
They most certainly are - you should read the listing before digging up any more old threads
