USARK Injunction and Updated Inventory

Thanks to the hard work of the USARK team and united front of responsible reptile keepers we have reached the first of hopefully many successes in the battle to win back the freedom to share our passion for these amazing creatures. 

THE *LIMITED* PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION WILL GO INTO EFFECT 14 DAYS FROM 5/20/15!

*Domestic imports and transportation INTO Texas and Florida are excluded from the injunction. The injunction will also be limited to listed plaintiffs and USARK members. View the exclusions with explanations, other details, and the official ruling please see below or visit USARK.org

Preliminary Injunction Details and Other Points

1. The injunction goes into effect fourteen (14) days from 5/19/15;
2. interstate transportation/shipment/commerce will be legal for all continental U.S. states except Florida and Texas;
3. exportation (domestic and international) from Texas and Florida will be legal;
4. limited to USARK members and listed plaintiffs (this was suggested by FWS in its 5/15/15 brief);
5. limited to USARK members on or before April 8, 2015;
6. details regarding membership and your inclusion to receive injunctive relief are below;
7. this only applies to reticulated pythons and green anacondas (other listed species are still illegal for interstate transport);
8. importation into the U.S. is still illegal.

Injunctive Relief

We are as of yet unaware as to exactly how FWS plans to enforce the membership requirement for interstate transportation/shipment. We are currently compiling a list of only those USARK members who are breeders, sellers, dealers, hobbyists and owners who have a current expectation to engage in interstate transportation of reticulated pythons and/or green anacondas during the injunction, which is scheduled to be in effect until a final ruling is made on the lawsuit. Obviously, anyone not concerned with these species should not contact us to be included on this list.

To prep for what we hope will be an outpouring of support for retic keepers around the US we have taken a fresh inventory of our available animals and will be updating availability on our website until 5/25/15. After that time we will again begin responding to emails and calls to help match customers with just the right animal. We want to make sure we are as prepared as possible to help customers in a timely and organized fashion and hope the current delay will assist towards this goal.

Please find our list of available reticulated python morphs below. For pricing and inquiries please email [email protected] All emails will be responded to in the order received. Please note we will not be shipping any animals until the preliminary injunction is activated in approximately two weeks. We will also be unable to ship to customers in Florida, Texas, or any other area ownership is restricted.
