ok first off rees refused a rat again making this his 3rd week not eating(no biggie just wanted to let ya know) now back to the matter at hand. i saw something this weekend(saturday) that made me sick and disgusted and made me realize why their are so many reptile laws in ny. At 11:15 pm i was out side hanging out with some friends when one of them points out to someone and tells me " hey brian isn't that the same snake you have?" then i see a 4.5 ft ball python around a guys neck. now me knowing how easily stressed these snakes can get i was already cursing out loud in outrage but then i over hear one of the men that was with him say "man you've had that snake out all day and it's been really calm,do you think it is dying?" and the man replies " Eh, if it is i'll just get another one no problem." me being already extremely irritated and outraged went over to the man and his friends and asked if he knew what in the world he was doing to his snake and if he knew how cold it was outside(i said it in a much more disrespectful way i.e. cursing.insulting intelligence etc.) and after i was done explaining what he was doing to the snake he took it upstairs without a word excepti heard him and his friends just burst into laughter. Even though the snake was back in it's cage and was safe(hopefully) i still felt like my efforts were meaningless because even though it was like 73 degrees outside duruing the day it was really cold that night and the snake could be dead by now. i just wanted to share this with yo guys because i thought you all might be interested.
