They are beautiful. I like snakes, think they are absolutely vital to the environment and do not have a problem with people having them for pets in the least. There was a man in St. Louis several years ago, who had a HUGE python or boa, can't remember now. . . he laid in bed with it, and one day it killed him and the last I knew the snake was in the St. Louis zoo. Also had a couple who had a snake and lived in a trailer park, who had it get lose, and smother their little three year old. Someone in Mo. might also remember this story . . .at the same time, there was a couple who were high end educated and the dad was suppose to drop the baby off at day care, forgot (
) and the heat killed the baby . . .the public was in a rage wanted the young couple with the snake tried for murder . . . but felt sorry for the couple who left the baby in the car (
) and thank God the judge saw that these both were just tragic, tragic errors and didn't charge either couple, if I remember right. Living in a trailer park will automatically get you blamed . . .but if you are educated . . . oh, don't get me started.
I truly believe in some cases, especially where a child is concerned and its a true accident, there is NOTHING the law could do to you that you haven't and will do to yourself.
