Thats about like saying pitbulls ruined the dog industry. Its the owners that do not practice responsible husbandry and random acts of insight to those NOT educated about snakes and reptiles that are damaging this industry and are giving that particular snake (and most big snakes) a bad reputation, I am not a big snake fan and IMO do not think any one that wants to keep a 15' plus snake should do so with very young kids around UNLESS they are housed separately and SECURELY. I do understand burms and the reason people want to keep them and they are very neat snakes! Most every one knows that more deaths come from almost everything and anything than pet snakes each year. Just take proper care of what you keep and double check your locks and screen clips and we will get less scrutiny from the people that grew up with the miss information of all snakes are slimy, Vicious, pythons are going to eat them and on and on. If we as responsible business owners, hobbyist and even the random keeper dont pioneer knowledge and responsibility to these people then the annual DOUBLING of new owners in to the snake hobby will surely dwindle, no longer flourish and that will be what KILLS the snake trade. Just my Humble opinion but maybe one or two of you will take to this and educate that paranoid Person next to you we will help end the terror in the VOTERS minds one by one. . . . . . .
