quite a silly thing to say 'most americans shouldnt have reptiles like this'. apparently 12 people have been kkilled by large constrictors in the past 30 years. seein as america has x times the amount of people that ireland or most other places have, this probably isnt to bad. how many people have been killed in car wrecks here or anywhere? should most people not have cars, or even cross roads? probably sounded ok in your head, but sounded silly to me as im sure it would to 'most' people..........

if you look back i said some americans not most

like some irish, nowegians, french, germans, auzzies etc. still silly.....................

yeah i was just saying that most the animals attacking children stories you hear seem to come from america

I only have a few words on this subject. First off bad husbandry and secondly is it any wonder we as herp keepers get such bad press. This kind of thing is whats gonna make it harder and harder for any of us to keep the animals we adore.(I'm not being heartless obviously it's terrible what happened to the child but surely it could have very easily been avoided with some common sense techniques).
