    *Sighs*
    On one hand I wish they would make stricter restrictions on owning large snakes, Like for instance Lisences, permits, screening people who want or are owning large constrictors. And on the other hand I am like, well there goes the hobby.

    In Florida you have to be certified to own a snake over 8 feet. It's a new law from probably 2 years or less ago.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Most people should be.

    I don't think kids should be allowed around these snakes. I didn't let my 5 year old cousins around my 10' retic. Even while I was there. They're too powerful and will take advantage of any situation given the opportunity.

    How this snake got out of the cage, who knows. They probably didn't have a lock on the cage. Or hell, I've even heard of retics escaping locked cages. What was a child was doing in a room with an 18' snake? That door should be locked. That lady's lucky she heard her child scream. Had she been outside, I doubt she would have heard it and bye bye baby.

    Why can't they keep their other snakes?
