 State Law changing for maine!

I try to keep up with maine herp society as much as possible and was just lookin around their website and found this.....
"As most of us know the current list of reptiles and amphibians that is allowed in Maine without a permit is quite restrictive. The Maine Herpetological Society’s goal since 2006 has been to get this list expanded and there has been a great deal of behind-the-scenes work to meet this goal. It is with great pleasure that we announce that, due to the efforts of the Maine Herpetological Society, with the cooperation of the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Department, the unrestricted species list is greatly expanded.

The following species are to be added to Maine Unrestricted List and can be purchased without a permit. Look for an update on the Fish and Wildlife’s web site.

Green Tree Python Morelia viridis
Boelen’s Python Morelia boeleni (captive born only)
Sumatran Short- Tailed Python Python Curtis
Borneo Short- Tailed Python Python breitensteini
Blood Python Python brogermai
Macklot’s Python Liasis macklotti
D’Alberts Python Liasis albertsii
Angolan Python Python anchietae
Black Headed Python Aspidites melanocephalus
Spotted Python Antaresia maculosa
Stimpson’s Python Antaresia stimsoni
Pygmy Python Antaresia perthensia
Calabar Burrowing Python Calabaria reinhardtii (CB only)
Emerald Tree boa Corallus caninus
Amazon Tree boa Corallus hortulanus
Solomon island boa Candoia ssp.
Western Hognose Heterodon nasicus ssp
Mandarin Ratsnake Euprepiophis mandarinus
Trinket Rat Snake Coelognathus h. Helena
Beauty snakes Orthriophis taeniura ssp.
Green Red-Tailed Rat snake Gonyosoma oxycephaia
Blue Tree Monitor Varanus macraei
Black tree Monitor V. beccarli
Green tree monitor V. p. prasinus
Spiny-tailed monitor V acanthurus
Timor monitor V. timorensis"

Just wanted to say...AWESOME...
I can finally get a hognose, and a GTP and not worry about being illegal. I also am contacting people about FWC and Mangroves for the list but lets not get carried away. Also, we can finally get monitors!
