I live in Africa (South Africa) I might not be in the countries where they are catching ball pythons but I do know about the people of Africa and let me say that if these guys are catching ball pythons to put food on the table I don’t see a problem.
On a regular basis I have people from across the border asking me if they can work in my garden, some of these people have degrees but the situation in their own countries is so bad they risk their lives (most illegal immigrants come to South Africa through the Kruger national park where they encounter lions, leopards and Nile crocodiles) to come here to do meaningless jobs.
This is the length that people will go through just to live and support their families.
Some families live of a dollars worth of food a week so that WC ball python you see at petco is someone’s lively hood.
I love all animals and ball pythons are one of my favourites but I love people more.
This just my opinion and is not an attack on anyone.
