People who must have these "pets" should not release them into the wild. IMO.
Though not huge they nevertheless are a threat to traditional pets like cats and dogs. IMO.
There should be accountability. IMO.

Are you mentally deficient or just too lazy to use Google?
The “biggest” Ball Python on earth can barely gag down a medium sized rat.
Due to the fact that they are essentially _totally defenseless_ against all predators, they live in terror of even the tiniest dog.
A feisty little rat will cause them to ball up and hide their heads, in hopes that the rat will find them boring and just go away.
Keep your fear, ignorance and Freudian phobias to yourself and stop spreading stupidity.
Again, GET EDUCATED.
They are pets, not just ‘pets’, as much as any other.
Yes, you are entirely correct, these pets, as well as ALL other pets, should not be released into the wild, especially if not their native habitat. You’ll get no arguement from me there. Floridas Python and Anaconda problem should be met with hunting/extermination efforts. People who knowingly release these animals should take a beating with sticks.
No Ball Python is a threat to human or cats or dogs, though if you keep mice or rats, you may have an issue. Just because a Ball Python is a Python, does not mean anything about what the animal might be or its threat to you are other pets.
Get away from fear.
