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.
I haven heard anyone screaming about irresponsible snake owners. Unless you mean the ones who’s snakes have escaped and now are living and breeding in the Florida woods. Surely those people didn’t let those snakes out to play and they wandered away!
