"keep a Spilotes without being bitten for a year first. better yet, leave the mambas in the wild where they belong"



"i'm sure the mamba ripped from the tree, or the large viper pulled from the jungle floor, thrown into a bag, then to a wire/plywood holding box with a gazillion others until some are grabbed out and again stuffed into yet another bag, into a cheap crowded crate, flown for how many hours on planes to some importer, into a fishtank or worse a rubbermaid, and then shipped out yet again to some guy who will then put it in yet another probably undersized enclosure for the rest of its life - doesn't feel too good about this. for what? so you can simply sit and watch it (or breed it and flood the market with yet more snakes for more insecure people)? "



uv7bk, you think its alright to rip a Spilotes from a tree and keep it as a pet, but its wrong to take a mamba from the wild. Do you know what the word hypocrite means? Are you a zoo worker who feels insecure because he knows private keepers of venomous snakes are just as successful in keeping and breeding venomous snakes and private keepers don't have to kiss butt to keep their jobs so they can work with venomous snakes??
