I'm a snake hobbyist form Euorpe, i own several pythons including burmese. I'm really concerned about how things are going in the US regarding the possible ban on python and boa species. Maybe here in Europe we have different way of thinking but i can't believe that from one accident like Florida's one politichians may consider to ban all large snakes. That's simply sick and shows total ignorance. In a country where it is allowed to own guns like toys, that's promoting wars around the world the pythons who killed ONE little girl are the problem? In any normal situation the parents would be jailed for long time and medias would reccomend proper caring of animals nothing more. They can ask a permit to own potentially dangerous or invasive species but screaming about the "python problem" and banning all snakes is only a way to let ignorant people feel safe and of course be quiet, forgotting real problems. Really sad!
