Second, let's just drop the subject and agree to disagree. ALL giant snakes should be considered unpredictable, simply because they ARE. They don't bare their teeth when angry, or widen their eyes when frightened or threatened. If you admit to having trust with your snake, then that is a case of YOU trusting the snake - the SNAKE does not trust you. It only tolerates you.

I disagree with that, I think to tolerate you in the first place the snake has to trust you to, or be so accustomed to you handling it that it has no reason to feel threatened. Thus trusting you.

Thats why there needs to be tighter regulations on whos aloud to keep larger more aggressive species. Im sure many would disagree with me that you should have to have a license to own these snakes, but hey if you really truly have the means and the knowledge to keep all the way untill adulthood than you have no reason to fuss about a license. Too many people get these animals not knowing or even worse not careing about really asking themselves if its going to work and then still think its ok to get one and then pawn it off on someone else or in places like florida people releasing their animals into the wild. Look people if you dont want a snake ban in the US then stop giving people a reason to question wether we should be allowed to keep them, its up to us. I personally only own ball pythons and would never even consider a larger species but I do understand and respect others desires to do so..... IF they truly can properly care for it.

The sad thing is, that JUST happened up here. All British Columbians must apply for a permit should they want to own any boa or python in excess of 9 meters, and also for large lizards in excess of 2 meters. Forget about owning a rhino or a giraffe; those are on the list as well. :rolleyes:

I assume you meant 9 feet or 3 meters. I don't know of any living snakes that reach 36 feet lol.

You'll notice that quite often with certain people.

On the positive note, both of you have lovely greens.

Great picture with the tongue out, seems I can never get a picture of my yellow with her tongue out.

Dang girl...Great collection...Love the condas, but probably will not add one to my collection...But love looking at those that others are lucky enough to have...:gj::gj::gj:

sorry to jump in here but i agree with natelovesbps.
on the same token i feel these animals are in fact beautiful no question there & to the people that have the financial means to provide a safe, size-appropriate home for these creatures, more power to ya.
