The topic brought up was about stunning. For no reason does anyone need to talk about it because it should never be done. It is a terrible practice and people reading this and seeing people are doing it or recommending it can seriously be offended and you need to be carefull who you offend about this stuff. Now I agree people do not have any right to not be offended and it is going to happen many times throughout someone's life...but in this situation we are the ones with too much to risk to go making the wrong people mad about something that does not even need to be mentioned since it is pretty much in agreement by most experienced people there is no benefit and certainly the risks would outweigh any possible benefit anyone thinks there may be. I can be a very light hearted person and joke all the time with sarcastic remarks and such...but I try and be pretty seriouse when I am in any large constrictor or venomous forum. Your margin for error simply doesn't exist these days. Without someone to correct damaging information given within these forums, you are simply allowing people to beleive the majority condones it. Believe me, I am not about censorship at all...put full frontal nudity on basic cable or even network tv after certain hours if you want. But leave irresponsible keeping practices out of the forums when your passion for the snakes you keep and dedicate countless hours to is at stake. Don't you see if Rob Carmichael actually said he believes it is acceptable for a 15 year old kid to keep a python which has potential to reach massive weights and lengths well over 20 ft (I know it isnt common but people only see records) it would make us all look like morons when our highest respected professionals would put a potentially dangerous animal in the hands of a minor. I think people on this forum in particular are not harsh enough to be honest. Say what you are REALLY thinking Rob.
