By big retics, I am guessing you mean your snakes?
Your big snakes would cause a lot of people to have heart attacks because of surprise and shock. Cats, not so much.
Yes, but the fact remains, my snakes, yes the retics, eat far fewer meals than cats. Cats kill for sport. Snakes do not.
The point is, everyone is screaming about irresponsible owners of snakes. I’ll accept that when I see the irresponsible cat owners take responsibility for the 33 species of animals made extinct by pet cats and keep their free roaming murder machines secured in their house.
