Sure it matters. The stereotyping and propaganda being put forth that python owners are idiots who release pythons into the Everglades needs to be rebutted.
Pointing your finger at the pet trade is ridiculous. Cane toads, kudzu and Asian carp were not introduced into the wild by the pet trade, but by PhD scientists. Wild Boa constrictors down in Puerto Rico allegedly escaped from a serpentarium. No pet trade involved there.
