My comment:
Regarding the proposed snake ban,
I think that we should be aware of the broad variety of snakes that would fall
under the current description. The large snakes can be extremely dangerous, and
I can understand an interest in regulating them to keep them out of the hands of
inexperienced keepers.
On the other hand, small snakes like Ball Pythons, some Carpet Pythons, and Boas
make wonderful pets and are less dangerous than a kitten. They require specific
conditions to survive, making wild populations impossible in most of the United
States, and are only a danger to the small rodents we consider pests.
I'm a Ball Python hobbyist, and plan to grow my hobby of breeding beautiful
snakes into a business I can fully focus on when I reach retirement age. I
ask that you not crush this dream.
Thank you for considering my input,
Jeff Flanagan
