Hi Lori, Skip, and gang. As a bio/ landscape architect major, I understand what you are trying to do. However, I STRONGLY disagree with your actions and DEMONIZING articles. DARTH VADER', 'DEVILISH GRIN'? These animals like most other animals on this planet, have nowhere else to go. Mankind has destroyed most of the native habitat for most of the animals. As biologists, I'm sure you agree. Perhaps a 'serpentarium' or some other sort of solution other than killing them could be found. These are NOT weeds. These are living breathing animals, that feel pain, want to live and are DEFINITELY not the evil, devils you make them out to be. I breed snakes and own several 17 foot+ 150lb. burms and retics. They are EXTREMELY docile, intelligent and beautiful animals. It's disturbing to see one of the last places on earth where they can survive turned into a slaughter. Even though I am broke, I will pay for an ongoing subscription to kingsnake.com, in an attempt to find homes for these beautiful animals. In addition, I will spend my time and run ads for them as well. Not sure who I would need to get in contact with, but I am very serious and would love to work with you on this. Just remember we're all 'weeds' too. :)
A concerned animal lover,
Daniel
