THIS ARTICLE MAKES ME SICK... IN MY OPINION THIS KNUCKLE-DRAGGER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO KEEP REPTILES. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF CAMPER TRAILERS DO NOT MAKE SUITABLE CAGES. IT'S NOT JUST THE FACT THAT THE SNAKE ESCAPED, HE WAS TRYING TO FEED IT A LIVE (WILD) RACCOON. HE CAUGHT THE RACCOON AND THREW IT INTO THE TRAILER UNSUPERVISED. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY IRRESPONSIBLE. I FEEL THIS INDIVIDUAL SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THIS SNAKE BACK. NOW EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE FORCED TO ENDURE THE WAKE THAT HE HAS CREATED. I WOULD NOT BE SUPRISED IF THE PARISH WILL ATTEMPT TO BAN EXOTIC REPTILES ALL TOGETHER.
DISAPPOINTED IN SLIDELL, LA.

thats hilarious....not only is it poorly written and researched but the guy is feeding the snake a raccoon...i had a pet raccoon and it kicked my pit bulls ass a few times....thats a mean animal....if the snake does catch it the raccoon will definitely leave a lasting impression on it...if not severely injure it....

This has no name...
The worst is that the public opinion believe that snake keepers are all of this kind...
I don't want to think about if the snake was an elapid... Do you can imagine a Taipan roaming free near your house due the stupidity of a guy?.
This man can't keep any snake in his life, I think. He has no responsability. I hate this things. A man or woman buying a snake like it was a dog or a cat.

More laws, more banning of reptiles, more fear from the general public. Why? Because another irresponsible snake owner did something stupid and now I can only imagine what the new exotic animal laws will be. How can we ever over come this kind of bad public image that the press is able to write about because of a stupid act on the part of an owner. Most of us would never even think of allowing such a thing to occur, but now the people in this persons home town are convinced that once again snake keepers are a strange breed, along with being irresponsible. What is left? The other night on TV they showed a special called The Big Squeeze. Yea. They did a good job of showing that even experienced snake owners make mistakes and can be constricted. I am sure that helped our image also. It was a very interesting show but will only serve to scare the public who will say "See even experts get bitten and constricted, and we all know they can and do excape" "Ban them, and make people who have them get rid of them." All I can say is we appear to be our own worst enemy. Sorry this wasn't a place to preach but I am really upset by yet another bad example of snake keeping.
