Yes, we're very legit, even had an alligator inspection yesterday by the FWC. I don't necessarily disagree with the FL law and microchipping requirement, I'm not sure how they're going to enforce it all. There are so many people who buy these large snakes and don't want them as soon as they have buy or make a 6-8ft enclosure and buy rabbits for food.

I have a frozen rodent supplier, so cost and availability isn't an issue. This large snake is supposed to be a teddy bear...no strong feeding response, hangs out with owner in the pool and the yard.

What gets me is when I'm at a summer camp to do a show and some adult asks me, "Did you hear about the show when the huge snake went nuts and bit the little girl on the face?" I just don't think I could ever forgive myself if I ever had an accident like that. I have policies in place for petting and handling, but yikes!

Thanks, guys, I guess I'll be talking to my poor husband this weekend!
