The one and ONLY python BAN thread (HR511)

[mykee]

Maybe my ire isn't about the complete and abject apathy that 95% of reptile owners have for their hobby and fighting for it. Maybe this all just boils down to the fact that I do think the larger species (as I've been mentioning for years) should be banned (with the exception of the boa constrictor).

For years there has been an ever growing group in the reptile community in general who feel that the larger species bring in a 'different' group to the hobby that for whatever reason bright negative attention to the hobby, thereby giving the smaller species and their keeper/breeders a bad name as well.
So to sum up, I AM for the ban of the Big Nine (with the exception of boa constrictor constrictor).

Hey glad someone said it. I just don't want to have to pay alot to be able to house my burm. Proving you can secure it and safely keep it sounds good. Not every Jacka** being able to buy a giant python that could kill pets/ children and destroy the ecosystem might be a good thing.

dont you keep boa's? How would you feel if they banned them. You do not care because you do not keep them.
