The hurricane we have mentioned in previous posts was andrew and was in 1992 and there were plenty of albinos around and hets were being sold as normals at that time.

30 years ago it was not a problem getting rid of a large berm there were plenty of people, zoos, carnivals, traveling shows, roadside attractions, petshops and breeders who wanted them then.

20 years ago less of a market

10 years ago little market.

Again tho 20 years ago to today a large persentage (no way to know ecact) were hets of all types through the years.

You are correct that balls do outnumber brems in both number and morphs but the market for them is also astonomicly larger so 20 years ago the number of snakes and the market were simmilar to today as for a persentage. Again you are focusing on something that was ment for a reference for comparison of a situation that happened in the past that many people who was there has said was a common practice and now you are trying to argue it to the point that people just walk away.

How about it is proven that releases are ongoing befor we leap just not assume. If they are not going to begin a (real) eradication program than it is irrelevent if people release more and if they do begin a (real) erradication program then it will become apparent thru DNA testing and the pressents of hets and visual morphs if it is continuing then it could be addressed.
