"When a python bites they cannot let go. Their Jaw muscles freeze. And when they freeze, you have to wait about 30 minutes before they let go. Thats how they make the kill."

Glad to see it has the experts stamp of approval..

Correct me if I am wrong but he spends the entire time contradicting himself.

Reporter: People are making money off of them, importing them. Why are they are buying them, why are they importing them?

"expert": Most people, a lot of people are afraid of snakes. But some with young kids who wanna you know, raise an animal and see a cute little snake in the shop...

hhhuhhh? :rolleye2: :rolleyes:

way to not answer a question..


All I heard was, "I support the ban.. The ban is not warranted for anywhere but Florida.. People shouldn't be allowed to have pythons.. But I should be allowed."

He completely vilifies these animals as toothy, vice grip biters over footage of snakes FREAKING OUT because some uniformed ignoramus is pouncing on their necks. !?!?!? I HATE that! Yeah, if I was one of those people who knows nothing about snakes, that footage would terrify me and I would think they were awful, vicious animals. But there is not a snake on this planet that doesn't completely PANIC if you do that, and who could blame the poor things!? It is just manipulative journalism and I HATE it and I hate that it has gotten us into this mess.

You had respect for him?

Why? What has that boob ever done that would elicit respect from anyone? He has been acting like a stupid clown for years..........have you not noticed?

As for everyone getting their panties in a knot about mainstream news stories:

Get over it. It comes with the hobby. Get used to it.

Greg is trying to defend the hobby, but he's censored and then it pans off. They know what they've done, they're just trying to censor everyone who says the ban is bad... It's pathetic.

As a whole, society is irresponsible.

A ban on large constrictors to the general population is a good thing.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Let's take away motorcycles, anything that's got a sharp edge. You can't take away people's rights because there are a few idiots abroad.
What about the responsible, educated keepers? Where does it end? :mad:

Jack hannah sold out along time ago. He is a tool, a pawn. Just like he said florida has a problem, your not going to see a python in the mountains of montana. If florida has a problem then ok work with the responsible python owners and breeders in florida but a country wide ban is just stupid. Greg grazianni is no better then jack hannah. Gregs show python hunters focused on pythons in florida and spearheaded the fears uneducated peoe have of snakes. He also put the spin that these pythons are there because of peiple releasing them instead of the facts about hurricane andrew blowin thousands of snakes from breeding operations. Ok i get it thete are pythons in the glades. Then hunt em get rid of em whatever cause evasive species are bad and need to be taken care of but banning them and taking millions of dollars out of the us economy is not the answer
