Karls dead on target. Unfortunately "personal accountability" is not what it used to be. Therefore how can local and state law makers not add further restrictions or even a ban on Hot's. One bad apple spoils the bunch. We need self police ourselves better somehow. Maybe If a Hot Herp rescue organization was formed and the keepers on the fringe (just keeping to be cool/macho) would have a place to un-load their hots when they get bored or tired of them.
This is another problem I saw in Hamburg:
I was in Hamburg today at the Northern Berks show and overheard a conversation that disturbed me.
One vendor was talking to a prospect (in his 30's)that was looking over the Hot snakes on the table to purchase. The buyer ended up chosing between a EG Mamba and a Waglers PV. The buyer had no clue what he was buying and was asking the differences between the bites from the two snakes. The vendor explained and the guy bought the Wagler and had him set it aside and left.
I followed the guy and had a few words with him about what just happened but I could not pursuade him to A. don't buy anything till he was did some homework. or B. buy a Copperhead or a Pig (Sistrurus)as a first hot. If he got tagged the fallout with not be huge. (Yeah, Waglers are not suppose to have bad bites either but I was loooking at the fact that they are at least domestic.)
The dealers have to show some personal accountability too.
Best ,
Al

This is deplorable. how could someone be so reckless as to "loose" these two snakes....catch both snakes, catch the sucker that lost em, without reporting it, and throw em all in a locked room.
