Im interested in knowing what you sent back to him and why you say he knew you were right and he was wrong.. Im not sticking up for the guy. Judging from his reply to you, he is an intelligent man who stands by his word. This is why I find it hard to believe you could say anything that he would even remotely consider "right". I think stubborn is a better word for it..Originally Posted by Andrew24
His comment about you making points was his way of being respectful to you. It was a sort of friendly debate the two of you had..
So enough about that. I agree about the furry pets thing. The only furry pets that come when called is a dog and some cats. That was a little silly on his part.
Maybe its just me, but I first loved snakes because I was facinated by them as a child. When I was old enough to buy my own and purchased my first big snake was when I realised just how much I did care for these animals. The bring such a calm and peace. It has nothing to do with "cool" factor. Im sorry but a native snake would not be the same. The temperaments of constrictors is very very different from colubrids etc..
He may know alot about the florida ecosystem but he still has no right to say who can have their pet and what type of pet it can be. I can understand strict laws/permits/inspections etc, on deadly or highly dangerous animals. IE: big cats, venomous snakes, certain types of apes etc.. But for an animal like a constrictor, all it takes is a little knowledge and a little experience with these guys and they should not be as dangerous as people make them out to be.
As for the effect on the ecosystem? I give up on that one. Im just going to wait it out and see what mother nature does. What gets me is there are FAR more important and far more devastating things to worry about right now. These bills were silly from the start. Thats all I know.
