I understand what your saying, but...how should i put this...it will probably never get to a point where it will be ACCEPTABLE for snakes to be in general public areas where other pets are allowed. The way things are going, it may even get to the point where it will be ILLEGAL to do so. If the Boa and Python ban does go through (god forbid), that is just going to give people the confidence they need to fuel MORE bans, until it will get to the point where it will be illegal to own a garden hose because it looks kinda like a snake, in the half light of dawn, and that scares people. I'm not saying "enjoy it while you can", but everything new and different is inherently feared, so bringing a snake out into public will cause shocks, screams, and all that, for a while, but if you start in a small area, eventually the people will get used to it, then they will interrupt the idiots that say that corn snakes are as dangerous as a lion, and it will ripple. To use my neighborhood as an example, i live in a cul-de-sac in a trailer court, and i would probably start with my neighbors, and then go to the whole cul-de-sac, then my block, and so forth. Some times it's enough to know that we CAN do something, and not have to go DO it, but i don't think this should be the case here. What is the point in being able to do it, if we don't anyways??? And then you fight to keep the right you are CHOOSING not to exercise? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make sense. Now, all i have just said, hasn't been TRIED yet, as far as i know, not even by me, but fighting for a right you do not use is a waste of energy.
