Hahaha awesome

im sort of new to this sort of thing i just kinda get on with it lol
but this is a really good question. ive always wondered why you would keep a dangerous animal.

i think all of the ones you have on here are beautiful but still some of you have these animals with children.

arent you concerned that they mite eat you kids? id love to have more insight on this

thanks

Dogs are dangerous around kids too, same with monitors, tegu's, large snakes, spiders, scorpions, centipedes and tokays could do a lot of damage to children too but people keep them. Only difference is that all DWA animals have to be in LOCKED rooms with double doors and each viv is locked. I personally dont keep any DWA classed animals although id love fat tails or a dwarf caiman but if one of my spiders got out and bit a child they would end up in hospital let alone my bosc, which if it was an adult would do severe damage if it wanted to, to an adult let alone a child. Any animal can be kept safely with children around if proper respect is given.

i can see why people keep them, i love looking at them in the zoo's and tv programs and it would also be really cool if i could have one at home to study and watch grow ect
im to much of a scardy cat at the moment but maybe later in life when i have much more experience i may consider going for a dwa

A few people will keep them because they want to study them, some idiots buy them to look good in front of their mates (most of these people are unlicenced but not all) and some people buy them because they like them. Same reason why people buy beardies cresties and cornsnakes

DWA Snakes are possibly less dangerous around kids than a Retic or a burmese or even large monitors mainly because dwa animals have to be kept in locked rooms away from children whereas retics and the like can and mostly are be kept in the living room, bedroom, spare room. And there is no need at all to have any locking devise between the snake and a child.

Personally i agree with the tiered DWA system that gets spoken about a lot but i also believe that retics and the like should be added to the bottom tier.
