Yeah, it's a daily-poll thing. The snake one was yesterday, and I'm sad to see how it turned out :(

The general public really does have no idea about reptiles. Either that, or they didn't read the part about ALL exotic snakes being banned and just assumed the poll meant the really huge ones!

Well, unless you're loaded with gas, drive around nice cop routes, don't have a suspicious car, and follow the rules of the road, quite possibly maybe... ;)

Advocating the breaking of the law isn't really a good idea in light of recent challenges to our hobby.

So frustrating that people are already starting to rally for snake bans. That snake was ALREADY ILLEGAL. Enforcing a new ban is about as relevant as banning house cats because someone's pet tiger got loose. Sigh.

I must apologize for my horribly timed joke then.
I don't condone breaking federal law in regards to the Lacey Act to any readers out there.

Guess they're doing a toxicology right now. Cause of death was aphixiation.

What about all the illegal aliens that enter this country everyday. They come here take our jobs , dont pay taxes, use our resources, commit crimes and what do we do with them??? Give them citizenship , free health care and welfare. Yes .... please save us from all the vicious snake armies waiting to take over. They wanna make a difference in this country leave the reptiles along ( many tax paying Americans make their living in this trade ) and do something about the illegals bringing this country to its knees!

You do understand you yourself are an illegal alien if you go back far enough?

Everyone outside of Africa is.

Please place intolerance in it's proper historical perspective and do not spread it on this site. We do not want to have to move this thread to the restricted quarantine section as the topic could be vital to us all.

Stay on topic, remember the family friendly nature of the site and let's try and find a positive way to limit the damage to the hobby as a whole.
