S373 Python Ban Goes to Hearing

S373 aka ‘The Python Ban’ will receive a Hearing before the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chaired by Barbara Boxer (D-CA) on December 3, 2009. The bill sponsor is Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL). If passed as written it would Ban all snakes in the family Pythonidae, placing them on the Injurious Wildlife List of the Lacey Act. That is ALL 40 species of pythons! This action would stop all import, export and interstate transport. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) took definitive steps yesterday toward lobbying Senator Nelson to add Boa Constrictor to the bill as well. HSUS has publicly called for an end of reptile ownership nationwide for years.

Eat Snake Eat!

Seriously not enjoying the Kings lack of want for food. She's been off for 18 days and I'm happily wasting pinkies on her. Going to try braining soon. Maybe a corn scented live one. We;ll see, all I know is I don't like them not eating.
