i SURE AGREE with keeping them away from kids--and homes with kids in them! Sheesh. Idiots.

In a home with children, snakes are still safer pets than dogs are. In either case, the secret is caring for the animal properly, but even with proper husbandry, the dog is more likely to react in a way that will hurt the kid.

I would say similar things about certain breeds of dogs.

Kids are toooooooooooooo precious to take unnecessary risks with.
