details on the law???

CFlowers Sep 24, 2007 12:21 AM

Point blank
NO constictors and no vemous.

I'd check that out word for word.
Most "no constrictors" laws I've read single out the large boids and pythons and do not include the colubrids like corns and kings.
Can you get a copy of the statute?
What state? County? City? etc.

Yeah,....

Usually they mean(like Mark stated)Boas, and Pythons, although who knows how this idiotic law could be perceived by some morons in the "higher" offices!

I think some of these officials(along with some others) should be slapped right upside their heads.

All it takes are some irresponsible snake owners, and some "opheophobes" then, you have BIG PROBLEMS!!

I've never heard of anyone being killed, or dogs and cats being swollowed by a "thayeri"!!LOL

What's really insane is the law is "supposed" to protect people and their pets from being harmed by large constrictors,...

But it wouldn't be surprising to me to see this thing eventually affect animals like the EXTREMELY DANGEROUS constrictors known as the Scarlet Kingsnake!!, thayeri!!, cornsnakes!!,etc....LOL

Anyway, This sort of idiotic stuff really burns me up !!

I would DEFINITELY research more of this in detail, as it would kill me to have to give up my animals for the sake of some PURE NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!

BEST REGARDS, ~Doug

best regards, ~Doug

Remember the good ol' days when America was a little less like Russia?
When you could have your snakes, paint your house without the approval of a homeowners association and put a Holley carb and Hooker headers on your pickup?
