It just grates me that the general consensus is that a snake is a snake is a snake. Never mind the THOUSANDS of species. Thousands. Dog breeds differ a great deal, how hard can it be to grasp that snakes vary even more. Not that the laws that ban specific species are any better, but the blanket "exotic" bans and regulations are increasingly frustrating. The "all snakes are bad snakes" mentality really reeks out of those types of legislation. I'm lucky to have friends and family who will give me a good ear when I feel a topic or issue comes up that I can help them understand without the common misconceptions, if only lawmakers were so reasonable...
