I'm with you. I have large snakes, plan on having kids, etc. BUT...I don't plan to let my 3 yr old play with my 18' snake....
COMMON SENSE!!!
I grew up on a farm with all sorts of machinery, firearms, deadly toxins, 2000 lb bovines and a plethora of other things that could kill me...but I'm still here. I agree with the above post that yes, I have many an interesting scar but, with PROPER precaution, anything can be at least somewhat safe.
It is a darn shame that people just don't understand what common sense is and this ultimate error, this utter lack of common sense will be the downfall of our beloved hobby.
I will make a note that, as I'm sure everyone here will agree, I will not go down without a fight. Just because there are a few, less intelligent individuals that make bad media, doesn't mean that I will ever let my hobby, my passion, my sanity slip away.
I apologize for the lengthy post but I am very passionate about this topic as I'm sure most of you are.
