If more people were careful with animals of any type (wild or domestic) we would not have these types of stories.

I have several very large burms and several very large retics. My largest currently 15ft. I have 3 children 7 yrs old and younger. It is not dangerous to have these animals as long as you house them properly. I have large roomy enclosures with Lexan windows. The doors each have two bolt latches and a paddlock. Its more to keep the kids out than anything. My snakes are also kept in a seperate room that is locked. My kids do handle snakes regularly, and only under strict supervision. Mainly they handle kingsnakes. The large burms and retics tdo not even come out of the enclosures unless the kids are sleeping in their rooms. I am overly cautious with these large beautiful animals. I know the damage they can do. That parent should be jailed for child neglegence and animal crulty. The child should not have been alone in a room with a snake that large. and animal crulty for not housing the snake in a properly secured enclosure. This is crazy!

That's one of the reasons we are strong supporters of any proposals that require this species (humans) take responsible parenting classes when deciding to guide the life of another species (pets). These are great links and definitely worth keeping as favorites! It’s a shame that what we consider the “higher” species sometimes behaves like the lowest of the lowest when it comes to common sense.
