My view is that there is a world of difference between Snakes and Serpents. The latter are simply too big & dangerous to be kept as "pets", and should only be kept by zoo staff or scientists.
Burmese Pythons are a danger to our native ecosystems.
We also already have plenty of captive-bred specimens for the "pet" trade for persons who tend to provide inadequate space & housing and little if any exercise for pythons and other serpents.
There are limits. Halting the import of Pythons and other large serpents for the general trade is a good idea that I support.
