LOL. You can't be serious about this:

"Nor, has it been proven the Burmese Python in South Florida is damaging and detrimental to the environment. One or two anecdotal incidences of predation doesn't amount to proof."

So there are thousands of pythons out there and none of them are eating?

And from Andrew Wyatt's part of the NY Times article:

"The word is that all of the pythons with radio markers being studied by the National Park Service in the Everglades died as well."

Seriously!?!?!?! It is ridiculous that he can make that statement considering nobody has commented on it publicly EXCEPT for me and my boss who have both said that they did not ALL die. Doesn't he read this forum? I thought I've seen him post here. He should know better. And, if he doesn't, he shouldn't be making that statement. So one immediately has to question his credibility when he goes on to say:

"It is also said that all of the pythons in the outdoor experiment at the Savannah River Ecological Lab in Aiken, S.C., also died."

I don't know anything about what is going on up there and I wouldn't be surprised if they all died but the point is that he shouldn't be making that comment in the NEW YORK TIMES.

Anyway, I'm going to go work on identifying the prey remains of these supposedly anorexic snakes now.
