"Serpents are over 6 feet long and have no place as "pets". They can be quite a danger to humans & communities"



I don't think little 13 year old "Johnny" needs a 15 plus foot snake as a pet either, but 6 feet is not realistic either in my opinion. I'm hoping you just meant large boid type constrictors WELL over six feet long. Because if not, a large Yellow Ratsnake, Indigo, Black Ratsnake, Many Pituophis, Asian Ratsnakes(taeniura), Cribos, and many other totally harmless colubrids would fit into your category as being "dangerous" to humans and communities too. None of which would be a danger to anything other than a feeder rodent in my opinion.
