Hey I'm just pointing out an unfortunate fact about our government.



Hot keepers are a very small minority, with the majority of people hating snakes - if you want an indication of this just come up to the black hills of south dakota and look for redbellies with me. In fact just today i talked to a fisherman who after i told him what i was doing remarked "the only kind of two kinds of snakes i know is a live one and a dead one". Try fighting that attitude, the politicians will side with a majority opinion just to get votes.



I'm all for a permit system-I'd like to maybe own a copperhead or a pigmy rattle snake one day but it doesn't look like that is gonna happen with the way the states are going. And with the costs involved with keeping a animal like this it would just be cheaper to drive down to an area and field herp for them.



At least the politicians can't outlaw field herping-thank god for that.
