I am currently an owner of reptiles, and its something I hold very close to me. I love watching them, taking care of them, breeding them, teaching people about them, learning new housing/husbandry techniques, anything that comes with owning reptiles, i love. Now i know you guys stand very hard against pet stores, and things of that nature, and just animals in cages in general. Now being that these animals are CAPTIVE BRED which means not born in the wild, what supposed to happen to them, are they just thrown in the wild to fend for themselves? I am someone who takes great care of all my animals and I make sure they are as comfortable as possible. Is it really wrong to own animals as pets? I find it very theraputic handling reptiles(mostly snakes) and am going to have a hard time giving the hobby up, if I even can at all...
P.S I don't believe in owning animals that are TOO large for enclosures. For example, a Burmese Python gets huge, and really is close to impossible to house comfortably in my opinion, in some situations I guess not, but most YES! So I am against certain animals that require lots of space to be kept as a pets, but heres the thing. Being that snakes are carniverous there body absorbs lots of toxins from the flesh and don't require lots of movement, in the wild they usually find a nice warm hide, and reside there as long as they can, moving around to find water and such. Now if I provide the nessacarey requirements for this, I personally do not see any harm, in fact, I feel that MY snakes know my presence, and know that I am a friend, and someone who helps keep them alive. So i dunno, tell me what you guys think!
