Should giant pythons be kept in captivity?

[Zoe]

Hi,
I am writing an article for school about the keeping of giant pythons by the general public. I'd like to know what you all think about it, and if you would perhaps write your opinion that would be great. If you would permit me to use your opinion in my text, please say so and include you name and years of experience working with herps and/or giant pythons.

So I guess I'd like to know if you think anyone should be allowed to, only those over 18 (or 19 or 21 or the legal age bla bla bla), only by permit, only by zoos and education centres, or not at all. Also, any defining experiences or elaborated opinions are very welcome!

Thanks!
Zoe
