Bingo! We (snake owners) should be the last to criticize anyone for owning a potentially dangerous animal...that's like the pot calling the kettle black.

If everyone took the time to learn more about these animals and proper husbandry/housing before running out and buying a giant constrictor, there would really be very little risk involved (aside from getting tagged once in a while). In turn this would help get us out of the negative spot light that we constantly seem to find ourselves in.
