Why are so many people opposed to keeping wild snakes as pets?

[infernalis]

They are all wild animals, do you all really think a captive bred animal knows any different than a wild animal?

To shed light on this, many of the "dealers" who sell you snakes are selling wild caught animals.

the ball pythons for sale at petco are all "African Imports" gee, I wonder who is breeding them there??

So stop and think things through for a minute, because if you keep any reptiles at all, you are keeping wild animals as "pets"

I go through this all the time with people, oh my Savannah Monitor is "captive farmed" ....

They grab up pregnant females, hold them until she lays her eggs, then send mom off to the leather plant to make watch bands and wallets.

That's what "farmed" means.

My steak was "farmed" too.
