The more I think and read about this issue, the more conflicted I get. Both the Burmese and Rock python are a huge responsibility as a pet- much more so than any other reptile. I know the fear is that the passing of this law could set a precedent under which the government would eventually ban all reptiles, but I would like to believe that that isn't the case. I gather that the majority of members of this forum could handle the responsibility of keeping a large snake (or at least make a more informed option about owning one), but try and consider the general population. We all agree that there is a point at which a certain species should not be kept in captivity, but where do we draw the line? If it looks like we’re losing the battle, when do we take a step back and draw our line somewhere else? That being said, let me stress that I think the current legislation proposition is ridiculous, and should be revised.
