Congressional Budget Office to "Score" HR2811

[lepidunce]

There are plenty of people who wouldn't have bothered getting a ball python if they had to take classes (not everyone has time to spare), but ended up being involved members in the hobby, or even breeders. Not everybody is a devoted herper when they get their first snake.

Sorry, I guess I should have made all that clear. I just meant classes for certain species of snakes, namely snakes that get to be over eight feet long. Also, if we could get rid of the small, small chunk of people that impulse buy retics, rocks, etc. for their first herp with no idea that they will get X feet long, we would be seen better by the media, and public in general. Because when it all boils down, which section of this community gets the lime light the most? The people that probably need those classes. I just think those classes would make the impulse buyers hesitate, and possibly become better keepers because they know what they are getting into, instead of getting on channel five because they hit the lottery with a "gentle giant" of a blood, and hurting someone. In short, let's try to educate the idiots BEFORE they do stuff that gets a new HR2811 passed.

Edit: thanks, I <3 Dreamsicles. You summed up the class thing for me.
