A dog or a cat is a different story but snakes are easy to hide. Whatever... College sucks... Graduated and now no jobs in my field... Student loan debt exceeds credit card debt now and everyone lied to me about how it works.. Screw the system. I'm bitter and I know it. One of my admitted faults. Oh well. In the end it's gonna fall down to what kind of person the OP is... And what goals in life the OP has.
And that kind of attitude is what puts our hobby in jeopardy with law makers.

This is probably the only reason I wouldn't keep a snake when I wasn't supposed to.

Seriously, though.. Laws have been improving our favor because the ridiculous restrictions are pissing people off. For the longest time renter's or home owners insurance wouldn't allow for snakes but they do now...

Aren't most bans based on the fact that the species are having problems or some other trade related issues?

Agreed.
All said lawmakers do anymore is take away personal freedoms...

An example is the imposing ban of burms in may places in the US.

It doesn't matter what the 'source' of current bans are. If people are keeping big snakes where they aren't supposed to, and something bad or stupid happens, or people panic for nothing and it gets all over the news, etc. etc. its all bad publicity so when they do have a source or reason to ban, this is just more icing on the cake.

Only if you do it wrong. Rules were implemented because people's snakes got out one too many times, thus flustering the herds of snake-fearing cowards

It's like those people abusing allergy meds..we all suffer because someone screwed up.
A better society would just punish the individuals not everyone. Oh well forget it

If you don't like laws and restrictions, I suggest you move to the congo or somalia or something and see how much you like it. Or if you know of a country which has all the laws you enjoy, and none of the restrictions you hate, let me know what the name of it is. Unicorn land isn't accepted as an answer.

With time I can only foresee that most large constrictors will be banned. Just like guns...

Goddammit

No place is perfect, except my mind. Sorry. Unicorn land will have to do until society stops rewarding incompetence. And believe me I doubt that will ever happen...

Idiocracy is our destiny lol
