I strongly agree for some sort of liscencing for the giant constrictors. I think it is wrong to lump all pythons or all boids in to the same ban or regulation but something should be done for the giants. Two possible suggestions I have is a liscencing program simuliar to florida's Hot laws. TO get liscenced you need to have 1000 hours of training by a lisceneced person. The only downfall is that people would/could start selling their training. Another possible method would be to microchip all snakes and jave their codes registered and documented. When said snake is sold the information could be adjusted on the database. WHen said snake is released illegally or escapes from being housed improperly, then the wildlife officer can scan the microchip and find out who is the owner. Then they can be notified and fined or what not.
As much as it sucks for the honast keeper, something does have to be done to limit the carelessness and the implulse purchases of these wonderfull animals. Todd
