Okay, are we talking mass producing snakes through cloning now?

I have to say, it sounds like getting these snakes out there is a good thing, BUT more public awareness has to be made about the proper care.

I'm afraid that if these animals dropped in value so much, where a pied cost a few hundred, we'd see a TON of impulse buyers getting their hands on what we consider, high-end and extremely valuable.

I don't want a plague and epidemic of people buying snakes for a lark, and then learning that these animals can get a good size, and will live for 20+ years. The boom, and afterwards the crash, and release of countless snakes into the wild. Many dieing, and many living in an unnatural enviroment, hurting our own fauna and flora.

Look at how the iguanas were? Or still are in many cases. People buy them thinking they are cool, and we have literally thousands in shelters, and even more down south being released when they get too big.

Not saying BP's get too big, or need specialized care by any stretch of the imagination, but I can already see the mistreatment of snakes and reptiles skyrocketing when they are too affordable.

But the boas, and large pythons are already dumped now, it's almost nothing to dump a $100-$500 snake, but I bet ya they would reconsider just dumping a $5000 snake.
