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

I didn't let it occur to me that for people to just release the snakes (not boas) into the everglades they would have to make a large effort on their part if they weren't nearby. That's the problem is when lawmakers begin to pass or draft up these types of laws that the law itself is very broad and covers too many things to be truly effective.

Well that's exactly my point. If you care for an animal, and want it to survive, you would take a snake like that to the everglades, sure. But, for most people, that would be even more work than researching, and learning how to take care of the animal. So if you aren't willing to do that, you probably aren't willing, or caring, enough to drive an animal all the way to the everglades to release it. I'm sure there are exceptions to that logic, but nowhere even close to enough to get the population we seem to have out there now.
