Small Collection Owners / Ban Poll

The way i see it is if the govt bans them then i want a bail out. The banks got a bail out. And i want top dollar.

I wish it could work that way..

Wouldnt it be nice if we could use the banks & automotive companies bail-outs ar an example?

Tell them now we cant get our money back. We have invested thousands apon thousands in our snakes & now cant earn any of that back so we want a bail-out.

Problem is they would never take the time to check the facts & see that it really is a huge investment & much more than just a pet or hobby for some.

If you agree that your fellow reptile lovers pets should be banned you need to find another hobby! No I dont think people like bhb and rdr have been successful by breaking the law but what are you trying to imply by that statement?

Yes, I think you misread my post. I don't agree with the ban AT ALL. I love this hobby and love the snakes I work with. My son, only 4, also loves this hobby and I would hate for him not to enjoy this hobby like I have. What I am trying to say is IF it did get banned, then understand the new law and abide by it. Most of the time when a ban gets past the animals are grandfathered in. They usually required that to buy a permit to keep them legally. So bottom line DON'T break the law and DON't suggest breaking the law.

Sometimes I wish I was brave enough to actually keep snakes and not just pretend.....

Sigh.

well i dont mind being opinionated.... i wouldnt care what the people say on this fourm really... if i wanted to keep somthing that was banned, i would.

My Ball pythons mean a lot to me, and if there did happen to be a ban like that in my state, I would not move, nor would I give them to someone else outside of the state. I would risk the fine and keep them. But if someone tries to take them away from me because they are illegal, I would move.

Keep an eye on the IRS. They are closer to taking away guns from legitimate owners than they are to taking away snakes...

If they want it they will TAKE it, including your car, your house, your land, anything you own, and they won't ask permission either
