WARNING: S373/ HR2811 PYTHON BAN!!! Senate Bill 373 (S373) sponsored by Senator Bill Nelson (D) from Florida, and the recently introduced House Resolution 2811 (HR2811) sponsored by Congressman Kendrick Meek (D) from Florida, are identical.  They are "Companion" Bills.  Luckily neither has any co-sponsors or support, but they still must be taken very seriously.  Both Bills would add the genus python to the injurious wildlife list of the Lacey Act.  If passed, they would BAN the import, export, and trade in all pythons.  This means even the small snakes such as non-aggressive ball pythons.
 
Personal Note:  Congressman Meek is planning to run for Governor of Florida. Am I the only one who sees trouble on the horizon??
