I hate to see such poorly thought out laws suggested.....all constricting snakes?...like harmless little cornsnakes? I suspect that they mean to ban larger ones, but fail to realise that almost all snakes can be put into two categories...constricting and venomous...I wonder if the law would, by exclusion, leave venomous snakes legal? I will contact some local reptile societies to get them behind the fight, and if you will contact myself or this list with the contact info for your town commissioners and the reporter, I would be happy to write a letter or two, as a zoologist, to discuss the reasoning and potential ramifications of such a law. Also, contact any local pet shops....I am sure that they will have something to say about a law that will restrict their business. G. A. Christian Bilou [Posted in FML issue 3568]
