Maybe somebody could shed some light on this one for me. I keep hearing on the news, in the papers, and on the internet, that the Burmese in the Everglades were released by irresponsible pet owners. I have never heard of one instance where a hobbyist or breeder has gotten into trouble for releasing Burmese in the Everglades...has anybody else? I have never herd of someone driving all the way to the Everglades just to let their pet go.

Could they have possibly gotten there some other way? I really don't buy the Hurricane Andrew excuse either although I am sure some got loose that way...but not enough to matter.

So my question is: Does anyone know of an instance where a keeper got into trouble for releasing their pet Burmese in the Everglades?
