new NC snake law

[West Coast Jungle]

You support it? What about your fellow keepers like myself who own "giant" constrictors? This is just the beginning, next it will be any snake, or they will start banning.....

I dont support it necessarily but it is not as extreme as other laws that have been presented. Have you read the actual law? USARK helped draft it. It basically says own a hot, croc, large snake, buy a secure cage or be liable. Seems like common sense but as we all know people buy pets but not the proper equipment to heat it let alone secure it. Which is bad for all of us.

I personally feel this law could be used as an example of a compromise by those extremist who do wish to ban. This law takes their arguement away or at least weakens it

If someone owns a hot or any other potentially dangerous animal I dont think it is too unreasonable to make them house it securely to protect the safety of others.
