Breeding snakes and overpopulation
Hey Everybody,
Because I am a new snake owner I have a question about breeding snakes and what it does to the economy/environment.
As a conscientious animal lover and owner (of the furry breeds), I am fully aware of the amount of animals in the shelters and the amount of animals that get euthanized on a regular basis. In other words, I am for spaying and neutering your animal. I also believe that no breeding should be allowed until there is a 50% reduction of animals in the shelters and anyone who breeds should get fined. That is the only way I can see that is a way out to make a difference.
Anyway, that brings me to my real question. Having seen snakes in shelters I wonder if there is an over production of snakes on the market and will they go down the same road as dogs and cats? Are there too many snakes being bred?
I'm really curious for I don't know any statistics on this and I hate to see any animal going into a shelter.
Thx!
