Is Reese Witherspoon going to be animal rights activists next target?
America’s sweetheart has been sporting a brand new designer bag around town made out of an exotic animal! Witherspoon has been snapped several times carrying the uber-luxe Chloe Paraty python and leather purse, which she clearly didn’t buy in California because the popular snakeskin has been banned from sales in California since 1970 – and RadarOnline.com has the details.
According to the California Penal Code Section 653o it is unlawful to import python into California for commercial purposes, to posses with intent to sell, or sell within the state, however, it is not illegal to purchase python in another state and carry it over.

Whatever, California's economic loss if they won't allow Python items to be imported, manufactured, or sold in the state. Plenty of other states will gladly allow their businesses pick up the revenue while the state derives the tax benefit from it.

The only good snake is a dead snake. I wouldn't even have a purse made out of one, they are so repulsive. I vote for snakes to go extinct first. Come on, yell at me, I don't care.

Ginger, can you read? Reese carrying the bag is perfectly legal and no one is going to stop her. Calm your paranoia and grow a brain please. Or at the least, learn to read before making such foolish comments.

I really wish women wouldn't wear snakeskin accessories. Get the fake look-alikes if you can't stand to miss out on the trend...Snakes are rad and don't deserve to be draped across our bodies. Just my humble opinion.

Yessirree - California is broke and going bankrupt but lets make sure women can't use certain handbags. That'll show how seriously the politicians out there in lala land take their job.
