I rarely see a retic or Burmese Python being given away.

I would even dare to say that large constrictor owners are even MORE responsible when it comes to snake ownership and care. Sure there's the random guy who gets in over his head with a giant snake. But for every one of those there are ten others who buy a bp at an expo and 6 weeks later they are over it.

If this was aimed at me then I would like to say I pointed out I didn't know the stats and wasn't comparing at a higher rate - trust me I see BP's and Corns on used websites all the time. Excuse my ignorance on the topic, this is a great point and you're truly right and I pray that only responsible owners acquire these large snakes. Though and that brings me back to my final thought that a few bad people ruin it for the responsible owners.
