Thanks for that info. I'm the 128th to sign from FLA, but for some reason I feel there are more Floridians who would be opposed to this bill than just that.

"but for some reason I feel there are more Floridians who would be opposed to this bill than just that"

Oh, there are MANY more. I am hoping that simply means that this was only 128 that did this via THAT particular site(I hope). Me being #129.

Even though I opposed this bill, I still think the huge number of irresponsible idiots that own these large constrictors need to get ther heads out of their a$$ and be more freakin responsible, many of them have already helped caused this monster-sized irreversible problem as it is . It certainly doesn't mean that after this is over(if it ever really is) everyone that deals with these big snakes should just continue to carry on irresponsibly as they did before, or we wouldn't be where we are NOW with this nasty thing. There has been a huge problem with this issue for many, many years, and it sucks to think that many of these same idiots that own, buy, and sell these potentially dangerous snakes just might make MY owning and selling totally harmless little colubrids a big problem in the future.

I never did believe that most "Joe-Blow" people of the general public have any business owning these huge snakes anyway, and I certainly don't think that little 10 year old "Joey" should be able to walk out of any store with one either. So now we are dealing with those VERY consequences right now. This thing has been a "double-edged sword" for decades to people like me, and many others.

Things like this always seem to have a major "trickle-down" affect.

All it takes is just a little imagination to think that shmucks of the general snake-hating public could esily one day deem a tiny Scarlet kingsnake as a "dangerous" constrictor.

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"

This is how people like PETA and all the other stupid animal lovers...that actually don't love them or help them...get a foothold in anything they can....once in they keep digging...

peta does not want you to even own a goldfish even ....
peta does not want you to fish, hunt ,trap,breed any animal...farm animal production would stop if they had their way...um...they would be the first to starve in my world then....anyways...you all know how they are...whale wars to pit bulls...they lie.....

....as for common people owning and breeding retics and burms....most people that do own them probably should not....but we cannot start regulating them without it going farther than we want and need to.....retics and burms etc etc are very nice and very sweet and easy to own and handle...if all is correct....too many plywood and a light people that train them to eat when door is opened.....stuff happens.......we all see the teens at the nearest show here buying their first snake....a rattler or viper...WITH their mother along to make it all legal ? and cool.......they don't have to take a test.......Herp related or IQ related.....

anyways...rambling again.........

they keep pushing one bill after another....
