"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"

You don't secure anything in a class 5 hurricane (Andrew) that was so strong it was peeling the asphalt off the road. Many dealers lost their stock because the entire building was blown into the everglades. As mentioned before, the DNA work has been done, they are all pretty much related to each other. Tom could probably tell you who had about 900 babies for sale in one location at the time.

If these animals were all released as pets, there would be far more albinos, greens, and granites being found.
