Why are you fighting locking your cages so hard?
I have been keeping for 25 years. 100s of snakes at a time for many of those years. Never once have I had an escape from a locked enclosure.
When I have more time ill post some stories that have been printed about balls being dangerous. One story has a photo of a normal bp and says pythons grow to 20 feet or more. You want to blame the media? Fine. I blame them as well but why even give them anything to sensationalize in the first place???
You want 100%? LOCKS!
