Those peeps are nuts, but we still can't be afraid of them either. We have to be smarter and willing to fight for our rights as owners and keepers. I say that with this kind of a discussion we are showing the "normal - logical" people that we are responsible enough to discuss different issues and scenarios to learn from each other. If you look in the Burm forum, there are several keepers there that did discuss this issue for both burms and retics and it showed that "experience" suggests that the snakes did not care about "other prey items" in those situations. Hence, the herpers are a more educated group now with these stories to back up the our stance that these animals are manageable and wonderful pets. Not trying to start a fight by any means just showing a differenct perspective as to this educated discussion. I mean, really, look at one of the spokes people for PETA (Pamela Anderson), I can't take them seriously at all now.
