Igor, you got your snake what a month ago? In my very quick scan through your posts I see that in that relatively short time you've had trouble setting it up, it didn't eat very well and when it did eat you handled it so much you caused it to regurge.

Perhaps you might want to give responsible snake keeping just a teeny tad longer try before you stand in judgement on whether or not our members have a right to have a "pet snake"......m'kay.
