i HAVE BOTH PITBULLS AND SNAKES SO I CAN PROVE ALOT OF THE MYTHS FALSE LOL sorry for the caps

Maybe none of this would have happened, if the reptile owner didn't have his snakes shipped UPS, which is against the rules? Wow.. how did it go from "this guy is getting a package with snakes in it" to "let's search the guy's house and raid it?" How did they get a search warrant? I guess that if the BPs were illegal to have shipped, maybe that is how? Like, if someone got marijuana mailed to them, and got found out.. like that? At any rate.. alot of non-hobbyists are aghast at rack-system keeping. They just don't get it, tht racks are really (at least in my opinion, and in the opinions of most professional breeders) the best way to house many BPs and other snakes. I have to explain this all of the time to people who visit us, and most leave understanding. Some like my friend, insist that it is "cruel" and inhumane to "warehouse" them.
SIGH...!

Before I owned any ball pythons but was interested in them I remember thinking that some of the people owning them were keeping them in inhumanely small cages.
