>>the flas in your arguement:
>>30 years ago you are absolutely right no hets would have been released but why is this just now an issue it is a distant event and has nothing to do with todays hobby and they should concentrate there efforts on erradication if that is what they want.

Right. If the problem is due solely to an earlier release, then today's hobby shouldn't be penalized for it. But if releases are ongoing, then restrictions on current hobbyists might still be important in preventing renewal of the feral population.

>>But 30 years ago there were no low end berms a normal berm was worth something so why would you let it go if you could easyly sell it for $100 or more dollars.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it has always been hard to place burms once they get really large. What's your impression of that?

>>Why do you think todays market would be any different than the past ball pythons are currently in the same possition today as berms were 20 years ago.

Nope. There are many more ball morphs now than there were burm morphs, especially 20 years ago, and I'm betting (nope, I don't have the data) that there are many more balls now than there were burms then.
