Really this whole arguement (about pythons colonizing the south east US) is a distraction from the real problem.



The real problem is a bunch of snotty nose little spoiled brats who have TOTALLY effed up the entire herp hobby with their insistance on breeding and selling "pet" burms and retics to young teeny boppers and other idiots who don't have enough sense to know how to keep a dog. When the idiots figure out that they are in WAY over their heads they either let the snake loose or they get loose because they are not properly housed. Thats just one of many of the "problems" I personally have seen with numerous big snake keepers. I can list many more problems but most of us here have seen the issues. Yes there are alot of responsible keepers BUT many of them are irresposible breeders/sellers.



Now the entire hobby is being looked at under a microscope. When I come into view I will be pointing my finger directly at those responsible and I'll be damned if I'm gonna lift one finger to help them.



Just my two cents.
