    Herp Nation Radio Special Report – Ball Pythons Banned in Texas

    Many of you have probably already seen this, but just in case thought I'd share. Someone in a reptile group I follow on FB posted this today.

    If it's nothing new that everyone is aware of already sorry.

    That's just horrible and their arguments for it are retarded. Who would keep a horse near a snake cage? Why is a bucking horse a concern when it comes to snakes?

    And Cobras are stalkers that kill entire families???? Where does this guy get his facts from? He's certainly one vet I would never use...

    If this goes through based on his testimony people are stupid.

    Edit: just listened to Herp Nation's broadcast, I can't believe it actually passed.

    Some cities have already done that to specific breeds.

    true. i hope this isn't the beginning of a trend. venomous, i can kind of understand.. or understand at least requiring special permits or classes. but banning balls? really?

    I just listened to it and tried to watch the attached video. I got through the part of cobras stalking you and killing entire families and had to stop. I cannot stand to listen to such garbage. This man needs some education. I bet he gets money from HSUS or something. Absolutely terrible playing into the boards fears and ignorance, using his position as a vet to push what is likely his agenda.

    anyone catch the veterinarian's name? maybe an email from a few more educated people could shine a light on his unenlightened way of thinking.
