"On Friday, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe is expected to announce new restrictions on the popular boa constrictor and four other large exotic constrictor snakes, making it illegal to import or sell them across state lines. The move comes three years after federal officials enacted the same ban on the Burmese, the voracious, fast-growing snake that got loose in South Florida and quickly gobbled its way across the Everglades.

“The overall goal is to limit the spread of these nonnative invasive species,” said agency spokesman Ken Warren. “We’ve already seen with the Burmese how they can get established and almost single-handedly wreck an ecosystem.”

Expected to become law in about a month, the measure will all but end the sale of boa constrictors, reticulated pythons and three anacondas — the DeSchauensee’s anaconda, green anaconda and Beni anaconda."

This would add all boa constrictors, BCCs (boa constrictor constrictor) and BCIs (boa constrictor imperator) to the Lacey Act and ban them from being imported/exported across state lines for ANY reason, educational, medical or otherwise.
