Ughhh, WHAT?!?

I agree, but J_H I think was saying that because the bp is part of the hybrid they would find some reason to ban BP's as well. This happening if people started releasing them into the wild. But there is not way to know if people will be responsible, so I agree in it being a bad idea. I just would be really mad if something like that happened so I have no interest in producing, or buying one. They are still a beautiful hybrid though!

First, the burm/everglades problem has nothing to do with people releasing their pets into the swamp. So the laws they already passed technically have nothing to do with people being irresponsible with their pets. It's blatantly anti-pet legislation, using PR and media spin to ban some sort of species of pet to get the anti-pet groups a foot in the door.

Second, if you aren't anti-hybrid, why would you title this "Uggghhh, WHAT?!?" while showing a video of a pretty gorgeous hybrid snake? I mean, if you're against hybrids, at least stick to the opinion instead of flip-flopping in the thread. If I somehow mis-read and "Ugghhh, WHAT!?>!?" means "Wow, I like this!", then I apologize.

Third, while I don't particularly want to own a hybrid, some of them are really gorgeous and pose no more environmental or legislative danger than your typical ball python or other pet snake does. The only concern I would have is not keeping proper track of what is pure ball/pure other, and what is hybridized. Since there's no way to permamently mark a hatchling snake, it's virtually impossible to keep track, other than giving paperwork and HOPING that the new owner keeps it straight and honest. If we could microchip all hybrids to prove they were not pure, it would solve that issue, but #1 you aren't supposed to chip hatchling sized snakes, and #2 no way to enforce it.

Fourth, someone said there should be a registry to mark who owns snakes. Then they promptly said if balls were outlawed, they'd still keep their snakes. If you're registered as per the suggestion you supported, the authorities would easily come take away the animals, as they would have records indicating that you owned them. You might want to rethink that idea, unless you are totally willing to get busted if a law like that got passed. Myself, I think a registry of breeders would be useful, IF it were merely a private record keeping(like iHerp?) but not a official forced registration.

I think I can say his "Uggghhh", was a good one lol probably close to eating a hot fresh cinnabon! and his "WHAT?!?!" was along the question with excitement.... it's a beauty of a snake
