how is that selling him or you out? i'm not talking about a ban. you would still be able to keep your animals.



if you think that those types of animals are going to continue to be unregulated if not outright banned you have lost your mind. those are the animals that the media feeds on and the public fears. there aren't stories in the news of ball pythons offing their owners.



at least in a permiting system you would be able to keep them, and it would hopefully keep the numbers of people that shouldn't have them down to a minimum. i think you know as well as i do that a good majority of burms sold in pet stores go to folks that are not prepared for them. next thing you know its 10 feet and they are scared and want to sell it.



do you agree with me that those are serious animals that not everyone is capable of keeping properly? can you honestly say that the giants and venomous should be as easily obtainable as they are now? why wouldn't a permit system work for those? it already works for venomous in florida and seems to be doing a fine job.



what sort of compromise would you go for? because there is going to be one....continueing to just say NO is not going to work much longer. lets hear your ideas....got a better plan, i would love to hear it!
