but public forums may no longer be the place to relate a story of this nature, IF anyone out there has any.

The AR (animal rights= PETA, HSUS, API etc..) are always on the alert for quotes and descriptions of instances such as being asked here. To portray large constrictors as dangerous, uncontrollable, and beyond the capacity of care a private keeper posesses. A threat not only to the keeper but the general public, including PC pets, and natural wildlife.

*I fully believe this Post was asked with good intention and find it sad that we now live in a society where a public recount of a learning event can be used against us.

>>The post of Julius Squeezer kinda prompted this question...When you guys take out your big retics and burms, do you ever have incidents where a possible animal of prey (dog, cat, bird, squirrel,...) comes along and sets the snake off? It's had to have happened at least once, right? You know, one minute you're posing for the camera, the next your 'tic ripping the hell out of some unsuspecting animal...I've had couple of good size (eight foot) boas out before, nothing happened, but I'm assuming something could have...)

>>Just a question. Any good stories?
