Jeff, you really do have to take culture into consideration. Let's look at how many people think that all of us put our families in danger by simply owning a "pet" boa. They probably even rationalize that we are a danger to the entire community. The only difference between your pet snakes and the one in the pic is proximity. So, how close can a child be from one of your pet snakes before it is "wrong"? This is strictly opinion based. What if the child was bathing a Pit Bull? Would you have the slightest concern? Going by numbers, they have done more damage to humans than pet snakes. I would not have a child that size bathing that snake, but I don't presume my BELIEFS are the way everything should be. Your friend is probably correct, right or wrong is determined by your culture to a certain degree. Is pre-marital sex alright? Depends on how you were raised I'd imagine! Well, just my opinion...which is right to me, and wrong to you....if things are so clearly right or wrong, how could we possibly ever disagree?
