That is STILL a HORRIBLE idea. You need to a do a little reading on the impact invasive species have on native ecology.
Re: I Approve of Most of H.R. 669
I am making a point here. I have never released a reptile into the wild and have had reptiles for more than 10 years. But my question here is what do you do if you have multiple (not 2 or 3) reptiles, if this bill passes other than release them into the wild?
Re: I Approve of Most of H.R. 669
Will do, But what other options will there be?
Do smaller snake species really pose much of a threat to the native ecology. They can't be much different than what we have native in the U.S. now.

Say you have 50 plus ball pythons and make an average income with your full time job. How do you feed these ball pythons if this bill passes.
What do the full time breeders do if this passes?

perhaps you should contact the committee and ask them they supposedly know everything about it.
they will go bankrupt!

Yes!....it's species competition. Do your research.
If the Bill Passes....I will keep my animals until the feds take them from me white knuckles...becuase I am not letting them go. It is their problem if they pass it.
Re: I Approve of Most of H.R. 669
Exactly go bankrupt and have no money to feed all the snakes. So what happens to the snakes they die, right? So, what would it harm to let those snakes into the wild and let them try to thrive then just let em die in front of you?

Ok, but how many animals do you have and do you have enough money to care for them if the bill passes?

Thank you and Yes I will do MY research.

There are too many independent variables here to give an answer to this.

Oh, so if I don't have to SEE them die it's OK?
I live in Colorado, my snakes couldn't stand a chance out there.
I take the appropriate precautions, my snakes will always have food in their bellies and heat under them. I would never take on the responsibilty if I thought I wouldn't be able to follow through on my part of the committment.
I would hope if someone no longer had the means to take care of ANY animal they would do the responsible thing, which DOES NOT include letting them out in the "wild"
