I like the idea, I don't know how feasable it is. We haven't had our state push against exotics too drastically yet, but I have been trying to think up ways to help the cause. I also have been thinking of reaching out to the media somehow, maybe getting our local herp society involved. They do lots of outreaches in the area. I know it is also touchy with the media because it is so easy to be misquoted and misrepresented. I would like to offer for local politicians to meet my snakes in a controlled environment... I have met quite a few people who were terrified of snakes face their fears and end up loving them. In my head.. if I can just get a politician or person to meet one of my snakes I know they will see them differently... I have done it many times before..... in reality, I know how far fetched this idea seems, and I am currently trying to find steps to make it less so.
Honestly, I feel desperate, and it makes me think up ideas but I haven't been able to really solidify them into reality.
