Yep I caught that line, and to tell the truth I was a bit surprised. There's no reason for Burmese Pythons to be imported as wc specimens. There must be 10s of thousands produced every year by breeders in the U.S. alone. The only way I can see justifying an import these days is if an usual colour morph turns up. There's no need to import Burms anymore. I get abit pissed when I hear about importing Ball Pythons for the same reason. There's only one explaination for this-greed.

Wild type Burms are really cheap in the U.S. . Even in Canada I can get them for under $100 CND. Do I agree with that price? No. Same thing with the overly exploited Green Iguana sells for about $20 USD. I've seen normal Retics in the U.S. go for under $100USD too. This does make it way too easy for the impulse buyers.
