This should be an interesting conversation IF everyone keeps their cool.

I voted yes. I live in NE Florida. I have a sewage retention pond near my back yard and 9 times out of 10 the snakes found are either water moccasin or another undesirable snake for my kids to come across when playing in the yard. shovel to the head... then throw it in the lake so nature will dispose of the body.

HOWEVER! If I found a Ball Python, or a Cornsnake, or some other "pet" that was likely let loose, I would more then likely take it to the vet and attempt to keep it... but have never found anyting like this.

How bout you?
