lmao.. cmon now coast get off your highhorse.. your goverment thats imposing these restrictions are based on lies and false truths which is exactly whats wrong with this country today.. take the burm invasion 100s of thousands? umm no... how many hunters liscences where issued and how many people got kills? exactly.. theres no invasion and the burm cannot survive ANYWHERE in the united states except the southern tip of florda yet theres a possible there moving into washington and survive on saltwater? umm no the goverment has NO right to tell me what i as an animal keeper can and cannot keep.. the states have more of a right to ban species then the federal goverment read up on your constituion and bill of rights...

this thread has a ton of oppinions that are wrong... how many hot keepers are there that have never been bite? A TON!!! because there is no reason to be bite.. ill say that again there is NO reason to be bite by a hot.. if the proper precautions are taken a good keeper will never be bite but will have 3 plans inplace of a bite.

and as for those who look down on a fellow herper.. you discust me and shouldent be in this hobby.. everyone has to start somewere and this hobby seems to think people need to explain themselves which is rediculous.. let the responsable be and help educate the uneducated.. its just that simple
