    Correct me if I am wrong, but aside from the Boa Constrictor, all the other snakes are HUGE snakes like Rock Pythons, Anacondas, Burmese, Reticulated...

    I have yet to see someone on any forum post a pic of their bedroom size enclosure for such a massive snake.

    Call me in the minority, but I don't see a problem with banning these snakes. Why have so many wound up in the Everglades? They are simple to purchase, but very tough to house.

    I am open to correction and discussion
    The problem is that people that currently own them couldn't take them with if the had to move it would be a felony to take your pet to your new home, this also makes no provisions for seeking medical care for your pet. If you live on the state line and have to drive 5 minutes in to neighboring states you are a felon at that point.

    An out right ban had never been or will it be an exceptionable solution. Also this ban never states that it's actions are going to directly impact the current situation that is cites as it prosed issue..Ex. How does keeping someone from taking there Burm from Colorado to Wyoming help get rid of the Invasive ones in the Glades..

    It is just bad politics and badly written all the way around..
