Default URGENT!! I need everyones help PLEASE!!

Alright guys I havent been around for a while, but I am reaching out to as many different avenues as possible.

For those that do not know me personally, besides cars, my other hobby is keeping and breeding pythons. Now many of you heard all the hyped up BS about Florida and the Federal ban of 4 different pythons. Well first of all that is just absurd and backed by tons of bullshit and false science.

Anyways, now the state of Illinois is trying to ban ALL species of Boas and Pythons, and not just them. There are going to be frogs, lizards, and even some small mammals i believe such as prarie dogs, ferrets, and sugar gliders. All I am asking is for everyone to take 2 minutes out of their day and sign this petition.

Have everyone you know sign it and have them pass it on. This could be a serious job killer. I make alot of income off my snakes and if I am not able to breed and sell the babies, it is going to put a SERIOUS strain on my income. As well as thousands of other breeders. Anyways, thanks for the time guys and any help would be greatly appreciated by the entire reptile community!

And that would TECHNICALLY be illegal to own here. We cant let the government get an inch with these bans or pretty soon we will not be able to own ANYTHING. I keep thinking about all the younger kids that have pet ball pythons. They are going to be criminals if this happens.

WOW, Total BS. I own exotic reptiles (Chameleon's), If they start banning snakes I'm sure chameleons are on the list of future bans.

Don't worry, you'll make more on the gray/black market once it becomes illegal.
