cruel world

[littleindiangirl]

When you take your snake into public, your forcing the public to see your snake. It's intrusive, and most likely does more damage than good.

For every person that came up to you to say hi and chat, I'd say easily 10 did not approach and are appalled by you bringing this animal into public and will vote in favor of damaging legislation to our hobby.

For real, be smart and keep our strange or exotic animals at home. The public isn't going to suddenly trust you because your snake hasn't killed you in the few seconds they've seen it, they will cast judgements on the entire industry as crazy snake people that put others in danger by toting around their animals.

People are generally ok seeing them on TV, but heaven forbid if they have to walk by one in a store.

Why does it seem no one understands that concept?

so just because i dont own the normal pet it should be banned to stay in a cage.

Banned in a cage? This isn't a dog we're talking about here, it's a snake. A wild, primitive snake. A species of snake that across the board has been shown to prefer sleeping in a hide rather than taken out, handled and on top of that into less than ideal conditions. It's majorly stressful on the animal, and that affects them, mostly for the worse.

Also, how is your home not a large enough space anyways? Does the animal HAVE to go outside? Does it have to go to a store for stimulation? That's the worst excuse I have seen besides one other person that lets their BP's sleep with them and never cages them.
