Before your time there was a place down here that was MUCH worse. Herp cages were actually kept under shade cloth outside where even a wild animal seeking a meal could knock them over. This kind of thing has GOT TO STOP NOW. We are under a microscope and also it's the RIGHT thing to do anyway. Handfulls of not saleable imports were simply dumped with no regard to the herps or the ecosystem. I hope no one objects to me saying this but it is truthful and is one of the reasons this crap is happening. Add in films that imply pythons will crawl down the overseas hiway to devour Key Deer and you have a blockbuster SCI-FI flic...IT IS SCIENCE FICTION to say the least. I'm admitting to our problems and our part. Again I would like to know if you believe pythons have no predators here, whether they can live all over the S.E. USA, and whether these snakes can crawl their way via US 1 to the Fl. Keys....
