Golgo I just have to say how impressed I am with your grasp of the written english language. Your posts are wonderful and it's a great thing to see even more people from around our big world joining BPNet. :)
Now I also wanted to follow-up on Judy's comments about driving around with a snake loose in the car. Her points are very well made and I hope those reading do pay mind to them. As well as a responsible snake owner you must always think of how your individual actions in public affect all the rest of us. There are new laws EVERY day being presented and passed to limit our rights to own snakes. These laws are often brought forth because of someone's poor decisions that have scared the general public, caused a problem or gotten someone hurt.
I've read that there are places in the U.S. where it's now illegal to have a simple cornsnake because of laws that include them under "constrictors". The fact is the general public is often nervous of our snakes and as much as we should educate and promote responsible, caring snakekeeping we must also remember that every action in public with our snakes is seen and noted. What you choose to do can affect my rights so I ask each of you to choose wisely and remember there is a larger community of people that don't want to see our rights curtailed anymore than they already are.
