I think what the doctor is saying makes all the sense in the world.Now im 16 and can not legally have venomous reptiles but i have read statistics and I realize how people can have a paralyzing fear of snakes or herps in general. That is no reason to ban them and make laws hard on the people who do keep reptiles.Any way why should they focus attension on snakes and not world hunger,drugs,and violence especialy in our schools.

Very good points. I recently went a debate on this very subject. What suprized me was the source of the struggle. It was the herp club I belong to. They had decided that keeping venomous snakes should be banned and any club member would not be allowed to have such animals. Now mind you this club has been very active in helping to stop townships and counties from passinb restrictive exotic animal ordinances. After much discussion including pointing out to the members that this kind of action is exactly what we are trying to stop in the general public a few members started to open their eyes and began to change their point of view. Their major concern was negative publicity if someone got bitten. I agree that that is what newspapers thrive on and it would be harmful to our cause, but most of the members are very responsible and have been dealing with various snakes for a long time. Well to finish my story our club decided to not ban hots, but they could not be taken to any club functions. At teh time I did not have any hots nor did any of the club members. I recently aquired a pair of vipers and it appears that several other members are looking to collect some sort ov venomous species.
thanks for listening

HMMM--WHILE I AM VERY AWARE THAT PEOPLE ARE SCARED POOPLESS WHEN IT COMES TO VENOMOUS SNAKES, (I MYSELF HAVE RECEIVED "YOU KEEP WHAT???!!!" TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT)I AM INCLINED TO BE HONEST WITH FOLKS. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK! I WILL DO MY BEST TO OPEN SOME EYES AND CHANGE SOME MINDS, BUT IF THEY JUST WANT TO BE SPITEFUL ON THE SNAKE ISSUE, I CLOSE THE DOOR ON THEM.SOME PEOPLE ONLY CHANGE AFTER THEY'VE SEEN THE SNAKES---WHEN THEY FIGURE OUT THAT THESE GUYS CAN'T ACTUALLY TELEPORT THROUGH GLASS/WOOD/PLASTIC/WHATEVER, THEY'RE USUALLY OK. AS FAR AS LAWS BANNING THE SNAKES--I STAND ALONGSIDE EVERYONE ELSE HERE IN MY VIEW THAT IT'S TOTALLY UNFOUNDED IN ANYTHING EVEN RESEMBLING MATURE THOUGHT PROCESS. BUT THEN AGAIN, I'M NOT REALLY A GUN FAN, YET I KEEP GUNS IN CAGES THAT CAN DECIDE INDEPENDANTLY TO SHOOT...........SO WHO KNOWS.BUT AT LEAST I CAN'T USE THE ATROX TO HOLD UP A BANK (HMMM...). TO BE HONEST---I'M NOT RELINQUISHING MY SNAKES FOR ANYONE--LAWMAKER OR NOT. FIGHT THE SYSTEM!

It's well written and well thought out. Bushmasters response was also right on point. It would be healthier if we focused on the true problems of our society and left the attempt at controlling other peoples hobbies and personal lives alone. There are plenty of real problems to solve, some of which he pointed out. Cascabelladonna, check your caps lock key for God's sake man!
