Why on earth would you support the use of an arbitrary number as a basis for a ban, particularly 6 feet.
Are Taiwan beauties too dangerous to keep now? How about black ratsnakes, many of the boas like dumeril's and rainbows, or jungle carpet pythons? All of these commonly reach or exceed 6 feet, why should they be included?
There are only four species of boidae that pose a genuine threat to humans. Even if you concede that they should be restricted, there is absolutely no basis to include any of the others and those four should be named specifically.
As for the inclusion of all the other exotics in the bill. That is a definate problem but a common tactic in legislature in general. Group a bunch of extra stuff in with the serious issues to get it all passed. Happens every day in congress and is a pathetic excuse for law making.
The legislators easily agree that big cats should be banned, and crocs too, the entire boidae family gets tacked on to be pushed through with the real threats.
