>>If you are saying the feral population in the Everglades was established prior to the 1990's then you are indeed confirming my point that the blanket statement "released by pet owners..." is patently false and unsupportable.

I'm not saying that they were or weren't. I'm just saying that the absence of morphs in the feral population does not preclude the possibility of pet releases, especially if those releases occurred during the 80s and/or 90s (at least early 90s).

I don't remember when the first burm was found in the glades, but I've seen the date around somewhere. Do you remember it? I *think* it was at least as early as the early 80's, but I could be remembering that wrong.
