Just because you fear or don't understand something you should not be trying to ban or force people to pay to keep their animals.

A lot of people will abandon and dump animals, you will lose state revenue the pet trade is major, guess what when Pet stores close more people without jobs.

Maybe instead of trying to make laws about something you don't know you should become educated on the effects of that law that you're trying to put into place.

Also even for someone who owns an exotic animal, should be evaluated to make sure they have the proper aquippment to care for them. Why not add the animals to the exotic animal license? A lot of people own primates; I don't think people would get them if they could not care for them. All of the animals listed to become banned has no great danger for the people who own them. Some people have had their animals for years; why take them away now?

Dog breeds such as Labradors cause more deaths than these snakes each year than large constrictors do in a decade. Also, cats do more harm than any other pet in the world. Do your research and stop being prejudice against snakes without proper reasoning. Many state governments and county governments know nothing of these snake species and go based off of biased judgement from so-called "professionals," such as Animal Planet, the number one network that advocates for dogs and cats to be great pets and snakes to be careful pets. I have reticulated pythons and plan on getting Burmese pythons this year as well because they're the most docile animals I've ever gotten the pleasure to see. They're also less apt to bite given proper protocol, whereas dogs will bite for no reason.
