It amazes me that HSUS is pushing to ban or add all large constrictor snakes to the Lacey Act !!! This action is totally uncalled for and it's ridiculous to ban big constrictors based on poor and inaccurate information !! Big Constrictor snakes are very calm placid animals if they are handled and worked with and they can be just as social an animal as any dog or cat can be.
This is my daughter, April and myself spending the afternoon with Faide, my big Dumeril's Ground Boa to show people that big snakes aren't the evil,.mean, aggressive, killers that so many people portray them to be when in fact they are VERY curious and passive,and affectionate snakes !!

My BCO's In Reptile Magazine Great Info On The Species !!!! Also one of my videos on the page in Reptile Magazine worth watching ;)

There are so many people really are poorly educated about snakes and it's really a sad thing that people refuse to learn more about them because snakes make just as great a pet as any dog or cat does. So many feel that snakes don't have feelings and aren't capable of displaying any form of emotions which is inaccurate !! It depends on the time their handler is willing to invest with their snakes.
These are my two big Argentine Boas showing me some love and appreciation for installing a double fan in the window across from their enclosure to help keep them cooled down as they don't like high temps nor high humidity. They are not like the common boas !!
Nosey (female) Grumpy (male) both are 13 years old at 12+ feet in length and each weighs 100+ pounds and they are awesome companions and very calm social snakes.
