It may be an odd hobby, but snake enthusiast Quantano Parris, who has legally bought ball pythons, believes that the pet trade is very popular overseas and snakes can become great pets.
Parris said that despite many concerns, it was unlikely that people would be bringing in anacondas or anything that would be poisonous or deadly into the island.
