this is one of the worst ideas I have heard. This would cause legislation on hot snakes faster than anything. The morons at PETA or the Humane Society would just love to find out that there is an underground snake shipping group working here in the US. Just imagine what kind of panic they could cause by showing commercials letting the general public know that the car they are driving next to could have a cobra in it. How long do you really think it would take before your area/state had a new law banning the ownership of hot snakes.



What you have to realize is, that you only have the right to own these snakes until it is voted against. Snakes are one of the biggest fears for MOST people. If it comes to the voting stands do you honestly believe people will vote so you can keep your snakes.... NO. We are the minority, the only reason its still legal to own hot snakes where we live, is that we keep the ownership of these snakes pretty much to ourselves. Once you open the window of secrecy, and allow the public to know exactly what is going on, you can bet dollars to doughnuts that there will be new laws in place very soon.



Do not underestimate the power of PETA, while I hate PETA and almost everything that they do, I know that they have thousands of very organized members (including many celebrities), hell bent on taking every right from you involving animals....



If your not familiar with PETA, you should be, they are a huge force working against us, with crazy ideas. In their eyes, doing anything to animals should be illegal, including owning them (they believe that even drinking milk should be outlawed).



Check them out at www.peta.org They ARE the enemy......
