    Of course they have. How else would we even know about them. What's your point?

    Laws don't have to make sense. It's all in how it's interpreted by a judge.

    Re: Are ball pythons a domesticated species?

    Hi,

    Can I ask how you keep the temperatures he needs while he is free roaming?

    Is it something you do only after they have finished digesting their meal in their enclosures for a couple of days?

    What about cool side and hot side? Also, unless your space heater only blows 92 degrees it is a terrible burn hazard to your snake. What about humidity? How do you keep your room at 50% humidity and 70% during shed. Not to mention do they know where to find water? I'm sorry to be bashing you but this is very dangerous.

    Mine will never know what its like to live outside her cage. They are happy there. I take them out for about an hour, supervised, but they will never know the dangers of electrical outlets, falling off things, full blow heaters, and not being able to control how they regulate their temperatures. I'm not trying to be harsh, but it's like a child and owners have to be responsible.
