That's right Joe,........

It's a very complex double-edged sword really. I sure as HECK am not saying there are NOT plenty of idiots that have ever owned large snakes irresponsibly, because I most certainly am not. The irresponsible jerks are a large percentage of why this issue ever came to light in the first place. The girl getting killed by the parent's snake was one of the key "straws" that broke the camels back with this thing. The other smaller percentage was probably Hurricane Andrew that destroyed much of Miami/Dade.

The small colubrids we all own are harmless "constrictors", and I can only hope to god the mentality of the general public won't also start applying it everything smaller eventually. That's when they will REALLY see "criminals", because like I said many times before, they will literally have to pry the colubrid from my cold dead hands..LOL!..
