I really hope this law does not pass. The ban will harm many reptile enthusiast, and careers. Also the reason why the everglades does have an issue with Burmese Pythons

1: The Climate is hot and humid which the snake can live in

2: Sometime in the 90’s a hurricane hit, and released a lot of pet snakes, not poor ownership!

Florida (everglades) is the only state that has issues with the Burmese pythons. One state issue should not jeopardize the rest of the world!

Keeping the Burmese out of the Everglades will save the area and the endangered species? Keeping the humans out of the Everglades and stop over populating the area and the area will survive. Is everybody blind and ignorant to reality? This won't stop anything but will increase the breeders that take their business underground and families will lose their income and not be able to pay off their debts from loans and tax payers will have to support their families.

Lets not forget the feral pigs and feral cats causing 10x as much damage as pythons are. Fucking ignorant people.

just release a whole bunch of different fish in the waters of florida that will take their mind off of it. Especially snake heads

[mrslovelace]

Lets not forget about the feral pigs destroying farmlands costing millions in damage

The black market is going to start BOOMING! Thanks to another fuck up by our government

[mrslovelace]

Over 10K pythons in the everglades?! Lies Lies Lies!!!!!!!, and to call on Jack Hanna as an expert opinion giver, give me a friggin break,

[Fleefles]

Too bad politicians can't be honest and admit this isn't about the environment, and is instead about looking good to the public by banning those scawy evil snakes. Cats have been decimating wildlife in all parts of the US for years, and do way more damage than any other pet animal. Why are none of these politicians who supposedly care so much for the environment proposing to restrict pet cats? That would help so much more than restricting snake ownership.

You can't "Ban" people from purchasing what they want. Did the U.S. Government learn nothing from prohibition and the war on drugs? All they will do is bolster the black market for this animal, creating crime and suffering/pain for the animal. =(
