Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm writing a research paper for a college writing class. The paper is regarding the laws in association to the exotic pet trade in general. I'm relatively new to breeding snakes and fauna and have read some different legislation but its a bit hazy to me.

What i'm looking for are key events that shape the industry today, i'm looking for unjust laws and just laws. Any specific laws that caused breeders to have to euthanize or get rid of their collections. Also any laws pertaining to Oregon (i have read the Oregon forum section).

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any response.
 
There are the pending House(HR669) and Senate(S373) bills trying to get constrictor snake species listed under the Lacey act which would ban the importation and interstate trade.

you can find the text of the bills and other good information here:

good luck on your paper!
