[QUOTE="Mygala, post: 343360, member: 10907"] I can see how this (depending on the actual wording of the bill) could be detrimental to a lot of exotic keepers, particularly folks who keep/breed/sell giant constrictors. Do you have the text for this bill? I looked on Congress.gov, and they say: "As of 03/20/2021 text has not been received for S.626 - A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to enhance protections against the importation, and transport between States, of injurious species, and for other purposes. Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from GPO, the Government Publishing Office, a day or two after they are introduced on the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are a large number of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be printed." I'd like to read the bill before getting all up in arms. I'm not sure USARK has the same concerns about the insect/arachnid hobby as it does the reptile hobby. They want our support, but I'm not sure we have theirs. However, I don't see how this would make exotic mantids any more illegal than they already are. LOL! They're already Lacey Act violations when transported across state lines. [/QUOTE]
