News story on my station's website yesterday... came of AP wires.





Gee, thanks, irresponsible pet owners... Why don't we also suggest they make a list of everyone who owns pitbulls or rottweilers, because we *know* they are potentially dangerous just like a pet python or "hot" snake...

Counties Want to Know Where the Snakes are Roaming

The Florida Association of Counties wants some help from the state wildlife agency on locating dangerous pet snakes.



People who own pythons and venomous snakes are required to get a permit from the state. Now counties are asking the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to share that information with local governments. The association wants to identify homes where pythons and other restricted animals live.



The death of a Florida toddler, killed by a pet python this month, is prompting the group to push harder for reforms over the way the state regulates pet snakes.



A 2-year-old central Florida girl died July 1 after being strangled by a python.
