Do you think people should be allowed to own certain snake species?

I know that Ohio, where I'm at, is about to pass/has passed some laws that make the ownership and movement of large snakes (say, burmese pythons, of which there are about 6-7 at my school) really tricky. Currently they will be staying at the university until such time as there is a place for them and their owner is allowed to move them, but I don't know too many details beyond that.

I am completely a fan of most species being pets, but I must say that I kind of agree with the idea of making it harder to own species that are either extremely difficult to care for/handle, are unusually dangerous, etc. I think the larger snake species are in this group, burms, anacondas, etc., even though they are gorgeous and amazing creatures.

People should just plan better to begin with. So many times people have a pet and guess as to its care, then wonder why there are problems down the road!
