I MAY NOT MAKE ANY FRIENDS WITH THIS COMMENT. I've kept a Burmese python 20 years n snakes n other reptiles over 30 so I speak from a lot of hands on experience. The big, pythons, boas, n anacondas should be illegal or strictly controled and regulated. Its sorta too late though they will never eradicate wild populations in Florida I'd bet $ sooner or later a rural child is eaten down there...My snake would eat me or try if I let it in a second... Anyones whose kept a burmese or retic knows how tough they are as far as survival. I've had my python since she was 14" long its fed really well and it still wants to eat me everytime its hungry. At the minimum I say they should be required to be microchipped in case thier owner does something irresponsible. I've sorta wanted get rid of my snake for years

its a liability to my small dogs n parrots thank god i have no kids would never own a large burmese with kids. I haven't found a lot of people even sorta capable or willing to handle a snake thats almost 150 pounds of hungry muscle with almost no brain.
