I agree that we shouldn't have to keep our hobby on the "DL" but we also don't need to have it out in the general public's face. Unless you are doing some type of educational outreach there is NO REASON TO EVER TAKE YOUR HERPS OUT IN PUBLIC!!!! This is one of my greatest pet peeves everytime i see some one walking down the street with a snake or lizard I just want to pull over and slap the stupid right out of them. Every day on my way home from work there is a kid with his ball python out walking up and down the street I once saw a guy in a grocery store with a 12 foot burm curled up in the grocery cart this is just stupid. We all like herps most people don't some to an extreme I'm willing to bet that the majority of local laws against ownership steamed from someone seeing somebodys pet snake out in public. Your snake dosen't enjoy going for a walk or a ride in the car. IF YOU DO THIS YOU ARE AN IDIOT STOP IT NOW BEFORE YOU RUIN THIS HOBBY FOR ALL OF US.
