I like my snakes. I like taking my snakes into schools educating kids. I like to be able to purchase a snake from all over the country. Oh...wait...I can't do that anymore with some species. That's right. Something called the Lacey Act got passed by a bunch of law makers pressured to do something drastic to quell the fears of the ill informed. The public doesn't care about all the good we do. They only hear about the bad. You know, snakes getting loose in our schools terrorizing poor defenseless children. Why all the drama? "Jeez", I don't know?
Talae, this isn't directed at you. I've said my piece to you and I think you've heard me. You know I respect your efforts and your desire to educate not only the kids in your class room but also their parents and other faculty. My ONLY issue is not putting locks on the enclosures.
I really hope you find the snake soon.
