I bet rock pythons have been established for at least 5 years and nobody was really finding them.



I still don't know why you guys keep arguing that it's the hurricane's fault. It's the fault of the person who owned the snakes and didn't secure them prior to the hurricane (if the hurricane did play a part in their establishment).



Let's be adults here.



Also, some colleagues and I will be publishing a paper listing an ever-growing number of exotics found in the wild in FL... not necessarily breeding, but found. Are these ALL from the hurricane? No way. I have literally watched these things crawl out of walls.



Let's get past this pointless debate about the hurricane vs. release hypothesis and start thinking of ways to fix this problem. I suggest a little peer pressure... especially toward one flamingly obvious source of escaped exotic herps.



Mike
