Very interesting comments. I have been doing extensive research about legally handling and removing rattlesnakes in California, and there seems to be a grey area, or NO AREA. I cannot find a single statute that allows or specifically DIS'allows any private citizen to responsibly interract with pit vipers. Can anyone out there assist me.

Great article ! I wish that Thomas could get this writing to those government nazis who are taking away all of our freedoms. If every state had a person that could write and suport his statements with facts as Thomas has it would save many of our rights as the alleged free people of the United States Of America.
Thanks Thomas keep writing and pushing the truth I am behind you 100%

I live in the great state of arizona, ehere we have more soecies of venomous snake than anywhere in the country. We are allowed to keep native venomous, but not non native, to the state. I can have a speckled, tiger,mojave,or WDB but I can't have a copperhead, or a pigmy,it doesn't make much sense,"these are all prohibited live wildlife" but so are red eared sliders and the local pet store them by the dozen. The people making the laws don't know what the facts are, and the people enforcing the laws are only out to make money, so they pick and choose who they want to harrass.Good luck trying to change religeous america.

I personaly don't have a problem with a person owning and keeping venomous animals, be it reptile, spider, scorpion whether native or exotic imported varieties. I in the past have kept in captivity tarantula's a western diamondback, and black widow spiders. I concur with the person that stated that strict regulations might deter an illegal keeper to report an accidental envenomation for fear of the authorities. I also believe 1000 hrs. of training is absurd, basic knowlege of the type of animal he or she intends to keep and how to care for and house it is very much in order. Your web site is very informative in these respects. A comment about tarantulas all are venomous but are not dangerous to humans with exception of a few not native to the U.S.A. Common Sense and a responsible attitude makes for an interesting, enjoyable, and above all safe experience.

I agree 100% with this artcle. The regulations and restrictions are created by people with no real understanding of any or all venomous snake species. As a result laws banning and/or prohibiting w/o proper permits or licensing. I live in IL and the current state laws prevent people from owning these amazing creatures w/o a permit granted to you by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Even then the permit is for zoological purposes and you must meet facility requirements. This is obsurd and no one is willing to do anything about it. And what angers me just as much is that when I tried to contact the state about what could be done to possibly get these laws change or at least revised. I never got a call, no emails, no response period. They completely ignored my attempt to contact them. And as for all the people complaining about florida state laws with the 1000 hr experience, at least you guys can get a permit to keep them. I would much rather have 1000 hrs of training and a permit than no chance of owning at all.
Thanks to all.

The following is a python issue rather than a hot herp issue: What about unprepared people buying Burmese pythons and, when the animals become large, difficult to manage and expensive to house, releasing them in habitats where they can survive, breed and decimate native populations? I would like to see something that would discourage dealers from selling these animals to unprepared people (most Burmese python buyers).

While venomous snakes are considered to be dangerous yes, one should still be aloud to own them as pets. If the person owning the snake venomous snake ends up injured or dead they most likely messed up somewhere. A venomous snake will do nothing more to you then what your dog does. IF YOU LEAVE THE SNAKE ALONE IT WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE. Venomous snakes could careless if you are there or not. They dont eat humans they eat other snakes and seeing as how snakes reproduce in mulitple numbers that shouldn't really be a problem. There are plenty of venomous snakes in this world along with other snakes. They only strike at humans if they feel threatend. Which is usually about three feet from them. Most the time people dont come within a three foot radious of a snake. I believe if your going to band venomous snakes then you should have to band dogs as well. Being from Rattlesnake country i know that if you don't mess with them they could care less that your there. If you come within a three foot radious of them they strike. So you people need to get your heads out of your ass's and figure out that venomous snakes aren't going to do anymore then what your dog will. They are not the fucking devil they are snakes. They are just another reptile. If your own a venomous spider this is no different is just doesnt have eight legs and its long and skinny instead.
