The likelyhood of a ball python escaping and a blood escaping and biting his kid is probably the exact same. It has nothing to do with your kids safety in that regard. Don't kid yourself.
Erm...isn't the title of this thread "Thinking of stepping away from balls."

Seriously though...So let me get this straight...keeping snakes = bad parent. That about sums up your post, correct? I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and 1) Say you don't have kids and 2) You are very passionate (even to the point of being blindly arrogant) about snakes and "breedism".

I guess that means keeping;
dogs = bad parent
horses = bad parent
cats = bad parent

Do you see how asinine this is? I really hope you do. Or at least, one day, maybe when you're a little older, you will see how silly your responses have been. You wonder why people have been jumping on you in this thread, but have you actually read your responses? Imagine saying those things to a persons face. I imagine you yelling and possibly spitting a bit while ranting about how if you don't like certain species you shouldn't have animals, or if you have a kid you shouldn't own a snake....you don't talk to people like that. You don't sit there and tell people they are a bad parent, over something so freaking idiotic as "well if you are afraid of bloods hurting your kid, and have bps, then you're a bad father!"

My gosh...I really wish people would treat others with respect.

Alas...the internet and texting era has produced naught but loud mouth, sniveling, arrogant brats, who don't know how to interact with human beings. (I'm not calling you all those things here mind you, I doubt you're a loud mouth, sniveling brat...but arrogant yes )

Sorry... /end rant

MMR...you're passionate, great. Good job. We get it. Seriously though, chill the freak out. You can't seem to have a civil discussion without going off the deep end.

Chris, Good luck with your corns! Or wherever the passion may take you!
