I think permits, formal training for dealing with, and enclosure requirements would be a good idea for keeping hots and giants.
I'll probably get bashed now! LOL
Also, who is to say what size is the minimum for a giant. Is a 5 foot corn snake a giant? I bet some people would see a 5 foot anything and think it was a pretty big snake.
Never looked into it, but I think there are states with regs on hots, etc...
I'm interested to see what others think.
GOOD THREAD!!!
