stupidity dont get the snake in the first place if you arent prepared for a nip once in a while

I know a lot of people will think this is a very bad thing to say...but personally...I would wait until they weren't looking...grab the snake and run like hell out of the house. I once walked right into a friends house who was abusing a rat and reached in to the rat's cage...took the rat...looked at the "friend"...told him he didn't deserve a pet and walked right out with the rat. I had that rat as a pet for several years after that. I take animal abuse very seriously. I said something about the rat thing on the ssnakess forum and said that if I ever saw a dog dying of heat exhaustion in a locked car that I would break the window and take the dog. A bunch of people on the forum jumped on me and started threatening me saying they would kick my "you know what" if I broke into their car and stole their dog. I left that forum. I'm sorry but I'm not going to let a dog die in a car because some idiot leaves the dog locked inside in the sweltering heat. I will take the butt kicking from the owner.

Im with you Marnie. Abusing an animal is no different than abusing a human.

Yes there is a difference. The animals never deserve it...

[snakeman]

If you are afraid to get bit, you shouldn't own snakes.period

Humans never deserve abuse either.

For the most part, I would agree with you on that Steveo...but I would not have a problem clocking a child molester or a rapist...or someone who abuses children or animals. And yes, I am aware that it makes me something of a hypocrite. But oh well...so be it.
