I agree with you that the seller of animal should ask questions about the buyer wether or not they can care for the animal wether it be large or small, but the problem is is that some pet stores try to get a quick sell, didn't care if the person said it would be their first snake and that their whole family came with them to get it and they wanted the retic/rockpython etc. I have worked in a small pet store and this has happened once in while when I worked their granted the only big snakes they had when I worked their where burms; I'm not criticizing them because the the people asked questions and so did we, we also had a long history with most of the customers that did this. All I'm trying to say is that there should be certain laws in place(not banning them) but having laws as to where only someone 18 years or older can only buy larger boids which includes red tails, papers to sign like for certain rare mamals(UT has this for certain mamals) Proof of cage or purchase of cage setup also a lock they don't cost more than $15.
