I never ever saw one nor did anybody I knew that hunted a lot. Matt, why then if they've been here that long have they only showed up in numbers in the last 10 years. Their reproductive strategy is one that would increase by geometric progression. It's just plain impossible that there has been any breeding population since the 70-80's and only being discovered about the year 2000....Who do you know that found any in the 70's or 80's? I don't know anyone but Manny. Manny says he saw one in the late 80's I believe he said. Seeing a single snake doesn't mean there's a self sustaining population however. If they had been here everyone would have been aware of them long before now. Their just to big to remain unknown for so long...I hunted here a lot from the 60's until the early 90's when I bought the Croc Farm in central Florida and I NEVER SAW ONE LIVE OR DOR....
