I'm sorry but I have to say it. WHAT FLIPPIN IDIOT drafted up the RI rules. I mean, are they just plain afraid that a Green Tree or an Emerald is going to fly off their branch and start a biting spree. I have kept/maintained every arboreal boid and python subspecies except for Rushenburgeri, Annulatus, the new Red Mountain Tree Boa that Crutchfield has and Cropani (god I would love to find some Cropani). I have yet to see any of these that would do anything in temps below 50 F. My Carpet Pythons have been more bite notorious than any of the Corallus or Chondro species have ever been. I even had a pair od Sanzinia that you could literally reach into their enclosure with you eyes closed and the lights off without a stich of fear of being bitten. Even had a female Green Tree that only ever tried to bite when she was on a clutch of eggs. They do look menacing but really, what are they dangerous to, Sparrows?
