Thank you for the response, Bill. It just always worries me when legislation "singles out" large boids. This precedence can lead to uninformed local and Parish bans. This also causes owners of large snakes to "walk on eggshells" when dealing with neighbors. Such legislation can be ammunition for an angry or disgruntled neighbor. Even if you have the correct permits, who wants the local authorities searching their house?



Another suggestion would be to require that every potentially large snake be microchipped and the chip ID registered with the owner's name. Bottom line: your snake escapes = you pay the appropriate fine. That and a compulsory education program (similar to the Hunter Safety Course) are, in my opinion, steps in the right direction.



Thanks again,

Tom
