But its one of those things where are you going to put all the blame on Meth addicts? or do you ultimatley put blame on the dealers and cooks who are making meth?



I know its a HORRIBLE comparison...and I dont mean any disrespect, not saying herpetoculturists are drug dealers...



I totally agree that the owner of the snake is the one responsible, but it makes me wonder who produced and sold that snake?



If they have had this snake since it was young...and thier child is 5 years old...that puts it about the time they had a kid...So they either had the burmese or retic during the time of having a child, or they purchased a large burmese or retic after they had a kid...either situation...is NOT GOOD...If I where the one selling a Burmese or Retic, I would have asked the guy some questions first...find out a little bit more about its future home, and the conditions it would be living in, I would have not sold this couple a Burmese or Retic if I would have known they just had a newborn baby or a large one if they had small kids...



Its accidents like this that will ultimatley ban our hobby, and really the only way to stop or slow it down is to be more cautious as to who we well stuff too....I was even cautious when selling normal ball python hatchlings to people, I wanted to make sure they where going to good homes, proper homes, with proper people who knew how to take care of them, and where responsible...Thats all we can do....
