I fully understand far too much of the phobic publics problem with snakes, as I have talked, and written about this subject for years. After it's all said and done, the majority of the public is the "squeeky wheel" that gets the provervial "grease", that seems to be the bottom line, like it, or not(I for one don't). Even though there might NOT be specific laws against taking a snake to a certain area where OTHER pets might be allowed by law, a snake is viewed by most of the ignorant public as something to be feared, however ridiculous this way of thinking(or NOT thinking)is, this is fact, this I think we all agree upon. But when we as snake owners take them out to these places, or other places, and want to stand firm in defiance of our right to take a pet snake out, this is EXACTLY what can, and does cause these very anti-snake laws to be passed. The city would MUCH rather side with "Joe Blow" snake hater, than he would with trying to upease one, or a few snake owners. They figure, okay, this(or these) snake owners are becoming a problem with the majority population of opheophobes, so we will just make it simple,........NO MORE SNAKES!....this is true reality, and this is the way the city law makers easily do this, because they have millions of other idiots that will definitely be on their side.

This is not fare, or justified at all, this is simply the way things are today.
