DATA ON PYTHONS
AND
PYTHON TRADE
NEEDED
On February 3, 2009, US Senator Bill Nelson (D-Florida) introduced Senate Bill S. 373 to add the entire
Python genera to the “injurious wildlife” list under the Lacey Act (Title 18 US Code Section 42(a)(1 )).
The Bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. For more
information on S. 373 and a copy of PIJAC's PetAlert, go to www.pijac.org and click on "S 373
Forum."
SURVEY RESPONSES NEEDED!
Everyone involved with keeping, breeding, importing, exporting, or retailing Pythons needs to
participate in the survey. The data will be combined into a report so that confidential personal
information is protected. We need to gather information on the numbers of people involved with the
affected species, including data on the numbers of animals by species and certain financial information
to show in a consolidated report the scope of interest in and the economic investment in these species.
You may access the survey by clicking on S 373 Forum to find the link to the survey or to go directly to the
survey by clicking on PIJAC Python Survey. All responses will be kept confidential and only combined results
will be used.
If you are amanufacturer, or sell python related products, or feeder animals, or do not fit
within the categories covered by the survey, please contact PIJAC directly.
For more information on the survey, call MarshallMeyers at 202-452-1525 or email at
marshall@pijac.org.
Please forward information about this survey to anyone you know involved with
Pythons and encourage them to participate.
