That is a stupid law. Didn't they do any research before they wrote and approved it? No venomous or constricting snakes. Well, what the hell does that leave? Egg-eating snakes? With the ban on rodents, you could only feed an egg-eating snake. These uneducated lawmakers need to be stopped. Didn't they offer a public hearing before the vote took place? They tried to ban any constrictor that has "the potential to reach 6 feet or more" in my town (since female BP's can very rarely hit 6 feet I took it very personally and was not going to surrender my collection). Needless to say there were a lot of complaints by both snake owners and local petstores and eventually the ban was defeated. Wasn't there any way to stop this before it became law?
